The blog posts below are taken from my grandmother's diaries. Althea Green Smith Crook was lovingly referred to as Nanny to her immediate family ~ thus her diaries are called Nanny's Diaries.

Nanny wrote in her diaries when she remembered to - mostly in the evening. There will be some years in which she didn't keep diaries and there will also be some days/weeks in her yearly diaries in which she skipped or forgot to write in them. For the most part, these are her words - written as she wrote them. There will be typos, forgotten punctuation, and other grammatical errors - but I am rewriting these as my Nanny originally wrote them.

As with all old handwriting, there are some entries that I can't quite make out - and these entries will be followed with a (?) to signify that this may or may not be correct or I can't figure out what she is trying to write.

Thank you Nanny for leaving us 50 years worth of memories! We miss you!

Monday, June 10, 1991 HOT HOT 89-90

 

It has been a very hot hot day. We had water problems today. Plumber Rodney came, got it fixed. We called Walt early this morning. Nothing he could do to fix it. Rodney changed onto the other well. He will come and fix it tomorrow. We cooked a pot roast supper for tonight. Esther went to Auburn with Betty today. We had Carmen, Bro, Betty and Walt for supper. I did a wash.

Another very hot hot day. I done up regular work then I got ready, took a bath, up to Kim’s to see her shower gifts etc. Had donuts and coffee. Tom’s mother and sister were there with her two small children. Betty Smith, Esther, Betty Horton, Walt, Carmen, Brogan and me were there. She got a lots of very nice useful gifts. She was very pleased with them all. She served donuts, assortment of ones and other pastries. Tom went and had his tuxedo fitted. Betty Smith spent the day with us then she and Esther went with Betty H to Windham to see about getting the hall tree made for Kim.
