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!

November 21 - 23, 1991 Fern Not Well


 

Thursday, November 21, 1991

 

Called about Fern. She is about the same. I went up with Carmen and we stayed until late forenoon. She didn’t improve much all day so they went up and staying at night for a long time. I came home.

Raining all day. Early this morning Carmen came and we went up to Dorothea’s. They was very concerned about Fern but she came out of that dilemma. I stayed for an hour or so then Zac and I came home and we changed the beds. Did the washing and he swept, dusted, helped to put the clothes we washed away. Carmen and Bro were here. Fern no better this p.m. Betty had a good sleep.

Cloudy, not much rain since early morning. I done up the work. David came for coffee. Zac stayed down to his house to get rested. Fern not any different. Arnold’s kids went to their grandparents. Arnold working at Betty’s. Brogan and Carmen home today all alone. Brogan liked that very much. Zac to town for me today. Esther called tonight to talk with Betty about the plans for a new home. I told her how low Fern is. CINDY CAME HOME TONIGHT.
