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!

January 22 - 25, 1994

 

Saturday, January 22, 1994

 

David came this morning for coffee. Carmen came, got Billie dressed etc. Cameron want feeling very good. Brogan okay. She took Cam to the child clinic, he is having problems with his ear. Poor kid. Betty H not very good today. I’ll be so glad when she gets onto her feet. I’m very worried about her. I could hardly eat  supper, I was so shook up about her. I also worry about Esther in her condition. I got the supper tonight. Cameron is sick with the ear infection. I too worry about him. He is on medication.

Well it has been a miserable long day. We did watch a movie on TV. It was one of Fryeburg Fair 1993. Carmen and Cameron came. Cameron is sick with the ear infection. I feel so sorry for him. A hard winter for him. Bro had a upset, depressed. Dorothea came and got the supper.  It was a good one. Betty better today.

It was kind of cloudy and snow flurries this morning early. It cleared away and the sun came out, a very nice day. I dite on the warm side. Carmen came and cleaned up and took care of Billie. He has got to go to his eye doctor in Portland. Walt took him. Walt is going to see Zac while he is down there. I didn’t do much today. I watched the soaps. Betty came up, got my supper. She got some spaghetti and meatballs for Billie. Tom called in, he borrowed the ladder. He plowed this morning. A few inches of snow came this morning. Tom is such a good guy for Kim. She has a good husband.

A cold cloudy and some sun. It didn’t warm up very much. This morning a nurse came to test Billie’s blood. David here this morning. Carmen came, she is sick. Bronchial problems, tired etc. I worry so about her health with her two children. Wish she was better or had better health. Walt took his car to Portland to have some work done on it at Subaru place.
