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!

Tuesday, September 1, 1992

 

Well it is a nice sunny morning, not too cold. I done regular work, washed a few things. Esther made a blueberry pie. Betty, Walt and Betty Smith all here for supper. We had very very good roast pork spare ribs supper. Esther down to the hospital to see Cliff. Betty, Betty S and I went down to Gorham to get plants. Carmen down to Jacksonbrook with Arnold to see about Nick. Cliff stays about the same.

It was so cold this morning. It was cold all forenoon. In p.m. it warmed up. David down for coffee. Carmen and Esther down town to grocery shop. Not much people in town or in the stores.

 

 

 

Thursday, September 3, 1992 BROGAN TO SCHOOL WITH CARMEN

 

It was nice in early morning, it clouded up and rained all day hard and tonight. Well this morning Brogan and rest of the kindergarten kids all took a ride to school to learn the ropes of the first of their new life. It will be school for 12 years and 4 more of college for them to get through and able to make it in the world. It was a big experience for her to see her school teachers and classmates. We all watched them go on the bus. Kim got a picture of it. She will do very well. She is a very smart child.
