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!

October 25 - 28, 1991

 

Friday, October 25, 1991

 

A nice day, mild as it has been all the past week. Carmen came and cleaned up the house. Got a chicken in today then we went to Gray to see about the china closet he is doing over for Betty. We came home, got supper onto the table. Betty, Walter here to eat. Dorothea called later in the evening. I had a lot of gas.

I did my washing today. I went down to stay with Brogan at Betty’s while she and Betty went and got their hair done. Carmen done some other business too. Carmen here and got our supper. I got three diaries read since Sunday. Cold and high winds.
