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!

It started out clear and sunny. It got cloudy, not too warm. Walt here for coffee. Carmen and Bro came. I went over to Lowell and Fryeburg antiquing. Betty got the supper. Walt planting his garden today.

Well today I found out my throat problem. It is a fixed vocal cord. It means it don’t work to free the speech as it should. I may have fixed. It may not last too long if it comes back. (Voice). Dorothea took me over and Betty Smith went. She enjoyed the ride and trip very much. Betty went out to lunch with some of her classmates, Vicki Cushman and Cale Fleck. Brogan sick with diarrhea. We drove down to Walter’s place to see where the fire was Sunday night. It is Doucette’s now.
