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!

January 5 - 8, 1992

 

Sunday, January 5, 1992

 

Cloudy dreary day. Walt up for coffee. No one else here. Carmen, Arnold and kids all walked way down into the woods. Zak got some Italian sandwiches for supper.

A mostly sunny day. I did the washing. Worked on the new puzzle. Zac went and helped Betty. He went to town and got Billie’s car registration. Carmen and Bro called. Betty called in evening.

Billie got haircut. Zac took him down. No telephone service this a.m. Betty and Carmen back to school. Brogan here today. Zac took truck down to be checked. I worked on the puzzle.

Nice sunny today. I made a lemon meringue pie. Zac to town for groceries. I worked on puzzle. Bro to school. President Bush had a bad spell while on his trip to Japan and Korea and other Far East lands. Not serious.
