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!

April 3 - 6, 1993

 

Saturday, April 3, 1993

 

Another very cloudy dreary day. David came for coffee also Dorothea came and cleaned. Walt gone to Rhode Island to his grand nephews christening. Lorraine called this p.m. also Susan called. Also Betty. The house looks so clean, they all do a good job cleaning the house. A very miserable day, it was cloudy snow and rain.

 

 

 

Sunday, April 4, 1993 DAYLIGHT TIME I HATE IT

 

Got up to a day of clouds and dreary mess. Well this p.m. it cleared off. It is supposed to be very nice all week. I wrote to Esther and Zac. Zac called today. Betty brought up a tunafish casserole for supper. I got a lot of reading done today.

 

 

 

Monday, April 5, 1993 A BEAUTIFUL DAY

 

Today it was sunny and a very nice sunny day all day. The snow that came over the weekend all melted. Tom was here in p.m. and got his motorcycle to running. Betty came and got the supper. Brogan and Cameron came with her for a while until Joan came. That boy is a cute little fellow. He is so full of it.

Another great day. So sunny and nice. The snow went along today. Betty up today, got the house all cleaned, looks very good. She got a good supper. Salisbury steak. Betty Smith not very good. We are quite concerned about her. We watched soaps today.
