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!

Brogan didn’t go to school. She has a cold. Hope she will be able to go by Monday. I did a wash. Carmen will clean, change the bad. She was here, that the supper. She, Bro and I went over to Oxford and got the pumpkins for Halloween and vegetables. Also we went up and got apples at Philibrowns in Waterford. A very nice and clear day. Dorothea called this evening on her way to camp.
