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!

January 31 - February 3, 1993

 

Sunday, January 31, 1993

 

A miserable dark snowy day. Carmen brought Brogan, we watched her VCR record. It was very good. After that she wanted to go to the Grammys and she did. Betty brought up some good popcorn. I got the supper tonight, and no big meal. Brogan didn’t want to eat here. Tom came and plowed  out the yard. Tom plowed. I wrote to Esther and ZaK. Esther starting on her trip.

Well a cold cold day. We got plowed and shoveled, Tom and Arnold. I washed this morning, done regular work. I got my letters checked over and ready to go. Betty took them. Betty came in late p.m. to get the supper. Brogan came with her. She had the two kids while Carmen and Arnold went down to see Nick.

A very nice sunny day. It warmed up a dite during the day. I worked at the desk all forenoon. Carmen came and got the checks and store list etc. Arnold down to the hospital to see about a job. I hope he gets it. Carmen is working this p.m. at the hospital. Arnold got the job at the hospital, night shift job etc. He may go on to a permanent one later. Betty down to see Ilan, he seemed to be quite good.
