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 partly cloudy day, on the cool side. I done up the work. Walt up for coffee. I wrote to Esther. I looked at some clippings. Carmen called. Brogan very sick all night vomiting all night every hour. She is still sick this morning also temperature 101 to 102°. I hope there will soon be a change. Zak downstairs packing some things. It is too damp down there for his furniture etc. He expects to get a job in Portland.
