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!

Thursday, February 6, 1992 Cliff 83

 

A nice sunny day. Cold. Carmen and Betty back to school. Brogan here today. Carmen and Brogan called. Bro was so glad to see her mom. Carmen got sick today at school. Nick is about the same, no improvement. He is going to be transferred to another school. I’m so sorry for him. Being bounced around all the time. Why did this have to be. I feel so sorry for Arnold and BJ and Nick.

A quite nice day, some cloudiness. I did the ironing. I washed bedding etc. Also I washed Kassie’s bedding. Zak sprayed and took her over to the vets. She was groomed, sprayed and cleaned up. Zak cleaned up the whole house, it looks so much better. Carmen and Bro called in. Bro to school. Dorothea babysat today for Barbara and Phil’s grandson while they went to the funeral. Kassie to the vets today for cleanup.

A quite nice day except some cloudy and light snow fell. All in all a nice day. Carmen, Bro, BJ called. Carmen made Angel cake delight for supper. David here this morning. Betty dropped in for a little while. Walt and Zac down and got some tapes. First time Betty has called in for over a week. She is having back problems again. Arnold is moving today at the camp up in Sweden. He is going to work for Betty to get the place for them to start their business. I hope and pray they do very good.
