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 23 - 26, 1991

 

Sunday, June 23, 1991

 

Just a very nice relaxing day. What a day to let down. Betty, Walt, Brogan and Jeff all came up. We was so glad nothing to do.

A very nice sunny day. Didn’t do much work. We went to Windham with Betty. Esther got things for her picnic up to the Twin Oaks with the Sullivans on Thursday. Betty got the hall tree for Kim and brought it home. Walt took Zack back today. It was so good to be with him for a few days. Verna called this evening to see if Esther wanted to go to Denmark with her. She made us a very long visit. Carmen to work tonight all night.

Nice sunny day, hot. Esther swept, dusted, wash floors all over the whole house. I only washed the dishes. Esther busy all day making preparations to go up to Twin Oaks and her guests the Sullivans, who were coming for overnight. We are looking forward to seeing the newlyweds.
