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!

September 21 - 24, 1991

 

Saturday, September 21, 1991

 

Another very nice clear and sunny day, on the cool and windy side. I read papers all day, got them all read. No one here today. I got the supper such as it was. I hate these weekends. David came down and had coffee later. Brogan home of the Smiths, she has a bad cold.

Walt up for coffee. Jason came and worked. I worked on the catalogs. A beautiful day. Dorothea called in p.m., a help.

A cloudy dreary day. A dite of sun in the morning. I worked on Christmas orders. I got the supper tonight. Carmen working. Bro better today. I had a darned cold.

 

 

 

Tuesday, September 24, 1991 TOM NEW TRUCK

 

A very nice day. Sunny and warm. I did regular work. Carm comes tonight. She got supper. She has been working a lot of overtime lately. She sure needs all she can get. Times are hard for everyone. Well Tom and Kim called to show us the new truck. Very pretty maroon. A four-wheel-drive and a snowplow with it. I wish them the best of luck.
