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!

It was nice in early forenoon. About early p.m. it began to cloud up. Betty and Charlene to Norway today to shop. Carmen Kim home all forenoon very busy. I had Cameron in p.m. while Carmen and Kim were very busy. Arnold had to work. Many thanks to Charlene for her services for this 50th birthday party put on by Kim and Carmen. A very nice surprise to Betty on her 50th year of days gone by. It was a Roy Rogers event. It was a very nice and interesting party. All had a good and enjoyable time. Guest: Kay, Brogan, Cameron, Tom and Charlene, Joy, Debbie, Jessica, Danicar, Robert, Kathy and Walt and me. It was a big surprise. A bad bad snowstorm, is started at about 3 PM.

A very cloudy dismal day. Tom came and plowed. Arnold came and shoveled. Dorothea came and cleaned and got the meals. I finished reading the news. I did a wash, done some odds and end jobs. Dorothea had a good supper. Susan called in p.m. Tom plowed.

Some cloudy. I wrote my letters. Didn’t hear from Zak. He is manager of the store for two weeks. Tom and Kim called in p.m. Betty, Walt and family out for supper tonight. Dorothea took care of Cameron. We was glad Tom and Kim called. They brought us Valentine greetings also Carmen and Brogan brought Valentine greetings. Both girls in the form of chocolate. I’m a lucky 82-year-old. Also I had a very pretty red rose from Betty with a nice card.
