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 quite nice day. It was cold and windy in a.m. It let up and a quite nice day. I done up regular work. Zak vacuumed this morning. Betty, Carmen and Bro came up, they had sandwiches then we looked at some names in the book. Carmen and Arnold bringing up the hens tonight.

A nice sunny day. I done up regular work. Made out store list. Walt took Brogan to school. Betty and Carmen left early for school which will be their last day tomorrow. I’m glad this will be their last. Now I’ll be very glad when they get set up and into their business. I wish them the very best of luck. They will do okay.

A quite nice day. Zak and I did the closets in back of my chair. Then I did a washing. Well Carmen and Betty came home early from school. They are all through. I hope now they will get set up and to work on their business.
