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!

A beautiful day, on the cold side. I done regular work, worked on the puzzle. Zac helped some and Kim came up. She also helped. I want to get it done because I got other jobs to do for spring. David to Lewiston today. Dorothea went too, he has got to go back in five days. Brogan didn’t come up today. Carmen and Betty got home at about 6 PM from school.

Cloudy and snow this morning. I did the washing. Zac did the cleaning. It looks better after he gets all cleaned.

Not a very good day. I worked on the puzzle. It snowed, sleet and rain. Carmen and Zac went to Norway. Carmen to the doctor. We got quite a lot done on the puzzle. Got a letter from Esther. She is kind of worked up because Cliff won’t tell her he will come back here to live.
