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!

Tuesday, October 26, 1993

 

This has been a cloudy day. Carmen came and did Billie. David here for breakfast and coffee. Carmen  took Cameron down to Betty’s so she could care for him while Carmen came and did some more cleaning (house). Looks very good. Brogan to Brownie meeting tonight. Walt and Arnold worked on the ditch and got it filled in and covered. I’m glad they did it before the rain came. Eva left for home today.

Not a very good day, all we got is a small amount of rain all day. Carmen came in the morning. She came back in p.m. and got the supper. She had a tunafish casserole, it was very good. Kids here with her at supper time.

It was a partly cloudy day. Well Carmen didn’t come very early. When she did come she didn’t look very good. She had asthma attack. So she went to the emergency room at Stephens Memorial Hospital. She had a bad attack and her hearts wasn’t right. He said it was a bad attack and her heart was messed up. Betty went up to stay with the kids til Arnold got home. Zak took her to the doctor.
