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!

May 29 - 30, 1992 Brogan's Graduation

 

Friday, May 29, 1992 A very eventful day

                                                                                             

Brogan graduated from her Humpty Dumpty School. It was a very nice and enjoyable program. I thank my lucky stars at my age I was able to attend Brogan Alyssa Horton Willette at age 5 years seven months. She is a very smart and nice looking child. Betty and I were over to Norway this p.m. to get a brand-new bike for Bro’s graduation. Dorothea here in p.m. and got the supper. We had a party for Brogan. Betty, Walt, Zack and I were here.
