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, January 5, 1993

 

When we got up this morning it was raining very hard. About noon it stopped raining, the sun came out late. I cleaned out the oven, peeled onions. I got chicken into bake also done a few other jobs. I made some applesauce. I worked on the puzzle in p.m., watched the soaps. Carmen came late in p.m. to get supper. Brogan and Cameron, Arnold came late and picked them up. He had been to Oxford. Betty better today. Carmen got to go to work at 11 tonight. David here for a visit, also they had coffee.

Carmen and children went to the baby shower at the hospital. Also Brogan gone to her Girl Scout meeting tonight. She brought up a new drawing for the refrigerator. Carmen did the shopping today. Billie had a nervous upset today. I worked on the puzzle today.

It has been a quite nice day. I done up my work. I began to work more on the puzzle. In p.m. I felt sickish and had a miserable stomachache and I had diarrhea. It was awful, had it several times. I hope I don’t have it again ever. Dorothea called in and did some work, also Betty came up and made preparations for a bad night for me. I slept well. I got over this flu quick.
