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!

Jul 10 - 13, 1993

 

Saturday, July 10, 1993

 

Another hot hot day. A long day, a miserable day. I will be so glad when it is over. Pills pills pills pills all day. I’m so sick of them. I had company which was nice. Betty, Walt, Lorraine, Dorothea, Carmen, Carmen (Brogan?), Cameron.

Another long long day in the hospital. I hate it because of the medicine I have to down every day. It makes me so sick. I’ll be glad when it is over. It has been a long day. Had company, which I enjoyed. It has been so hot they say. Family called.

Company today at the hospital. I’m sickish. I’ll be so glad when I’m much better. I had company today and tonight. Thinking about Es coming in a couple of days.

Well it was a very hot day. I was in hopes I would get home. Petrone didn’t want me to, may tomorrow. Well, didn’t do much today. I’m so sorry to have to stay here. It makes me sick. The family have been to see me every day.
