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!

Some sun and a dite of snow. Walt here this morning. Bro stayed here last night. Zak and Carmen called also Tom and Kim came. I didn’t do but a very little. I got the paper read and finished two magazines. Was glad to see Tom and Kim, they don’t come very much. I talked with Betty Smith on the phone. Regina is not doing too good in her daily life, not much work. Betty worries about her. Dorothea here, got the supper. Joy called this evening. Rosalie dropped in for a minute.

Heavy rains all day and very windy. Well I was at Home all day, which is now Betty’s home. I love the old home. I hope Betty, if she moves out, never will be sorry she left. I like this place very much. But. Betty made fudge,  cornballs, and pumpkin bread. Also Carmen and Brogan were there. Carmen made fudge for me. Also Betty Smith called in after she got through at the doctors. So all in all it was hard for Betty but she was glad we were there. I went all through the downstairs. She has made a lot of improvements. Carmen will be the next to move in.
