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!

Friday, August 28, 1992

 

A foggy very hot and humid day. I still have this miserable cold. Different ones called in for a while. Dorothea took Billie down for a CAT scan at the hospital. Cliff no better. The cow and calf are better today. I hope they will get along good.

At last some bearable weather. It was a beautiful sunny day and windy. It was a big relief. It had been so hot and humid. Cloudy from the fog. David came for coffee. A little later Dorothea came and cleaned up the house, washed floors and windows. Carmen and the kids called. BJ over for the weekend. Esther made cookies and a butter crunch pie. Susan came, gave me a shampoo, a set and colored it. Zak came home today. Butch and Cindy called tonight.

A nice sunny day but on the cool side. Walt here for coffee. Also Zak was here also. Well today was moving day. Zak moved the little white building back up here to the field to be used for the new pullets. Also Carmen and kids picked rest of the shell beans. Billie Jo was over this weekend. It was cold and windy but mostly sunny.
