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!

June 19 - 21, 1991 Kim's Wedding Rehearsal

 

Wednesday, June 19, 1991

 

Foggy when we got up, it burned off about 8”30. Esther swept and dusted the whole house. A very nice sunny bright day and warmer. They are still busy at Betty’s. Dorothea called in late p.m. Esther up here for supper. Carmen came and did the shopping.

 

 

 

Thursday, June 20, 1999 HOT HOT

 

It dawned sunny and warm when we got up. Done up my regular work then I shampooed my hair. I washed. Esther done up the dishes and took care of the clothes. I got my hair set today, it looks good. We cooked a smoked shoulder. Had a good supper. A very hot day. They’ve been working like crazy down to Betty’s getting the last-minute things done. Betty mowed all of the lawns and Arnold done the trimming.

TENT went up today. And I was down home all day. The start of a very nice wedding to take place tomorrow. I came home only in p.m. after the wedding rehearsal. There was a lot of people there. Friends, relatives there after the rehearsal and all enjoyed a very nice lunch put on by Tom’s mother and daughter.
