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 back to school after being out with a cold for a couple days. Carmen came and got the groceries but she will be working tonight so I will have to get the supper. She will prepare it. Betty to the doctor for a checkup to prepare herself for a school she will be going to. I wish her the very best.

A very nice day, it was sunny. I done regular work, the rest of the papers read. David came for coffee. Brogan here this morning or p.m. when Carmen went to work. Walt down to see Zack. Betty and Walt out for supper. I didn’t do much for supper. Brogan ate a sandwich, melted cheese. In late p.m. Dorothea and Lorraine called. It was nice to see Lorraine. In early evening Arnold came and got Brogan than Joy called and Betty Crook. Also later Dorothea called again.
