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!

July 14 - 17, 1993 Nanny Home From The Hospital

 

Wednesday, July 14, 1993 TODAY I CAME FROM HOSPITAL, THANK THE LORD

 

Well I was so glad to get back. PILLS PILLS. I hate them, they make me so sick. I rested after I got home. Betty came and got me. Dorothea had a delicious supper. Very hot. Betty Crook and Walt called. Esther came. We all was glad to see her. She had a good trip home. Susan picked her up. I’m sorry I was in such shape. Today it is much cooler. Esther is still tired, not too bad.

This is a real coolish summer day. I am getting better. I ate good today. I’ll be glad when I get all okay. Carmen had to work today. Walt brought Brogan here from her swimming lessons. Dorothea came and got the supper. She and Esther.

Well we had a good day. It was sunny, cloudy and some late showers. Betty came and got the supper tonight. Very good. Well I done nothing all day as usual. I’m feeling better, but it is so long getting some strength.

We are having nice weather, not that extreme heat. It was cloudy and scud or two, not enough rain to do a might of good. Dorothea and Betty here all day. Dorothea cleaned up the house. Betty was here helping Richard Ward to get plugs put in. It has been a busy day here. Carmen and kids here a little while. I had a good lunch. We had a good supper. And Zak came at about supper time. He ate with us. We were pleased about that. Went to bed kind of early.
