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!

A nice sunny clear day. I didn’t do anything as of course usual. I have a babysitter today and it was a good one. It was Joan Gardner. She does such a good job. Well there was a fire downtown. Also Dot Smith’s funeral was today. A very nice funeral. Also there was very bad fired today. Today Betty wheeled me in the wheelchair down the road and back. It was nice. Also to see the new flag raising. They did a good job.

I feel much better today, the resting I got helps so much. I eat a dite better now .Jeff called Dorothea this morning. He is terribly upset about his girlfriend leaving him. I feel so sorry for him. I love him and hate to see go so hard for him. I wish he could get a good job and find a good girl. BJ is going home today. She is coming back to Carmen’s to live. I hope it won’t upset Brogan’s life.

 

 

 

 

Monday, June 6, 1994 RED LETTER DAY

 

Cloudy. Well I got up and got dressed. Ate breakfast. Went out on the porch. Came in and went to bed, up at about 1:30. At about 2 PM the physical therapist came. She thought I was doing real well. Also  Esther made a very good frozen fruit salad. I did a lot for lunch as it was so good. Carmen took her dog to the vet. Got him bathed and some shots. Betty brought up the bed today and made up on the porch for Dorothea. I hope she will rest better. Well today I got a permanent. I look so much more human. Barbara McDaniels came up here and gave it to me. I love it.
