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!

Foggy and cloudy when we got up this morning. Well anyway we went up to camp for a cookout. It was on the cloudy and coolish side. We went up the first one for the summer. We were up there for Betty and Walt’s anniversary.

Another dark gloomy day. A dite of sunshine during the middle of p.m. We did some washing. Esther made a macaroni and cheese for supper, very good. We got out on the porch about noon. It was quite warm. In p.m. Carmen worked from three till 7 PM. Arnold took care of Cameron. In early p.m. I had him while she, Betty, Carmen and Bro moved the chickens, rabbits etc. Kim made a carrot cake for Kim’s school lunch tomorrow.
