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!

December 16 - 19, 1991

 

Monday, December 16, 1991

 

Snowing this morning then cleared away sunny. Walt and Zack and Betty over to Norway. Betty to shop. Today Dorothea gone for the surgery for her teeth. David took her. She is sore mouthed and taking it easy.

I worked at the desk, cards cards. I washed today. Snowing tonight. They are expecting a big storm.

I did the ironing, did some more cards. Betty and Bro came up. No school. BJ came up and brought up her school pictures.

 

 

 

Thursday, December 19, 1991

 

School today. Carmen came, went to the bank, got the money for Christmas cards. A nice clear day. Very cold and windy. I worked on Christmas cards. Betty and Walt to Portland. Betty to the dentist and had her stitches taken out.
