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!

May 21 - 27, 1994

 

Saturday, May 21, 1994

 

Well at last we had a very nice clear and quite warm sunny day. I sat on the porch all day. Carmen came early this morning. She had a customer early. I wrote a letter to Esther. I read papers and magazines. Betty came up and got the supper. Brogan on a hike today with the Girl Scouts. She enjoyed the day but got awful tired. Zak up late this p.m. Dorothea went to Cumberland with David to take his sheep wool down. Dorothea didn’t have to work. Mrs. Simpson is in the hospital.
