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!

April 26 - 29, 1992

 

Sunday, April 26, 1992

 

Not raining today. I wrote to Esther. Zac up this morning. Brogan a dite better. I hope Carmen takes her to the doctor soon if she doesn’t get better soon. I hope nothing is wrong with her intestines. This has been a dreary day, some sun, on the cold side. I hate weekends. Betty brought up some very good Italian sandwiches for our supper. Carmen called. Walt up for coffee, Zak too.

At last a sunrise this morning. Sun shown all day. It was so good. Well Brogan went to school today. I’m so glad she did. She likes it very much. Nick began again today too. He had a good day. Carmen worked all night last night. Arnold took care of the kids and place. Brogan had a good night sleep. Betty came, got the supper. She looks so tired. Zak raking the lawns down to his house. He did some last week.

Another one of those rare sunny days. It was so nice seeing the sun. I didn’t do very much. Brogan here in p.m.

 

 

 

Wednesday, April 29, 1992

 

Another nice sunny day. I done regular work and a small washing and did ironing. Carmen called and Bro. Bro feels better. She went to school. Carmen got to work today from 3 to 7. She done the shopping. Zak down in the woods doing the fencing. Brogan here in p.m. She isn’t very good, tired and not up to par. I hope she will get to the doctor.
