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!

December 25 - 26, 1992 Christmas Day

 

Friday, December 25, 1992

 

By gory I overslept this morning. So we didn’t get up very early. Anyway we got up and got up to Carmen and Kim’s to see them open their gifts. They all had a lot of very nice and useful gifts. Brogan got a lot of very nice and pretty clothes from her grandmother from Lewiston, her aunts, grandpa and her daddy. After we got to see Kim and Tom’s nice and beautiful gifts.  We went to Betty and Walt’s and they got a lot of very nice gifts. Betty got a brand-new video set from Walt. Then we all had a very good bountiful dinner there. It was delicious. Betty, Walt, Dorothea, David, Jeff, Tom, Kim, Carmen, Arnold, Brogan, BJ, Cameron, Betty Smith, Billie and I.

David came for coffee. I didn’t do anything as usual today. Dorothea came at night, got our supper. I straighten out my desk draws. Betty lame today. I got the papers all read today so as to get my puzzles to going.
