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!

March 10 - 12, 1993

 

Wednesday, March 10, 1993

 

Well it was a fair day. Not too hot. The eaves was dripping. I looked at the coronas of BHS. They are very interesting. I wrote out the store lists. Carmen came about 11:3o to grab it. She was tired from working last night. She brought Cameron and he stayed here while she was shopping. In late p.m. Dorothea came and got the supper because Carmen was working. Arnold came and did the shoveling. He got a lot off from breezeway and garage.

A big mess today, snow. It was deep, the trees, fence all covered. What a sickening looking mess. We have had it so long and so much. It is awful. I got the breakfast, done up the dishes and rest of the work and the ironing. David came for coffee, first time for over a week. He was sick with a cold and got his glasses. While tonight Kim came, got the supper. She cooked the steak and we had a delicious supper. Carmen and kids dropped in a minute.

We are threatened with a bad storm. Dorothea came and got the supper. Dorothea called Jeff. Carmen went to work tonight.
