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!

October 15 - 17, 1993 Brogan's 7th Birthday

 

Friday, October 15, 1993

 

It has been a nice sunny day, mild temps. Carmen came this morning and done the Friday work. It looks nice after she gets it done. Carmen was here for a little while. Dorothea took Billie and Betty S down to get their shots at the doctor.

 

 

 

Saturday, October 16, 1993

 

It was quite cloudy all day or most of the day. It cleared late in day. Carmen came and did her work. She came and got Billie’s lunch. A party at Carmen’s for Brogan’s birthday. She had classmates. She will be seven years old tomorrow. I done the stove burners and oven today. A few other odd jobs. Arnold went and got BJ today for Brogan’s party. I got my B News read and caught up on other things. Billie has a bad cold. Betty done the supper tonight.

 

 

 

Sunday, October 17, 1993 BROGAN ALLYSA HORTON 7 YEARS

 

Well today Brogan had her seventh birthday at her home. She got a lot of nice gifts. It was a family gathering. Betty, Walt, Dorothea, David, Kim, Tom, Betty Smith, Eva, Susan, host and hostess Carmen and Arnold and her brother Cameron. They had sloppy Joes, ice cream and cake made by Aunt Kim. It was a  cloudy dreary day. All enjoyed it all very much.
