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!

September 6 - 9, 1993 Billie In The Hospital

 

Monday, September 6, 1993

 

Not too warm today. We got a roast pork to cooking for supper. Last night Betty took us for a ride where Brogan goes on her way to school. What a long trip. This has been a long day. Esther was kind of upset over an incident. She had a good supper. No one here except David and done chores. Saw the deer tonight. A fair kind of a day.

Cloudy this morning. Brogan back to school today after a few days of being a holiday weekend (Labor Day). Billie went to the hospital tonight. He had a gallstone attack. Carmen and Betty took him down. In midafternoon he got very sick to his stomach and vomited almost all afternoon. Very much in pain. Was sick after he got to the hospital. They had the pullets moved into the henhouse tonight. Brogan had a ball helping. She liked it so much, enjoyed doing it.
