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 20 - 22, 1991

 

Friday, December 20, 1991 Brogan’s Christmas party at school

 

It was nice and sunny this morning. Very cold. I finished the cards this morning. Carmen took Brogan to school. Then she came and got Zack. They went to Oxford shopping.

Snowing when we got up. It cleared later in the day. David came for coffee. Zac went with Walt in a.m. We had callers in a.m. Lori and girls also Betty called. Later Carmen came. She got me some things at the store. Susan called today. Zac cleaned the whole house. I did a washing. They hauled Dorothea’s car to the garage. It broke down at Betty’s last night.
