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!

March 28 - 30, 1986 Easter Sunday

Friday, March 28, 1986

 

It was a quite nice day. Carmen and I over to Norway to shop for Easter Sunday dinner. She had company tonight. Dennis’s sister and her little girl. Carmen liked her very much. Betty over to Norway to get some things she had stripped. Billie’s foot is bad today, he went and got milk.

A great day. I been busy most of the day. Bill to the Mercy Hospital to have his throat reamed out again. He has been bothered with it the last few days. Billie didn’t do much, he did get outside while Bill was gone.

 

 

 

Sunday, March 30, 1986 Easter Sunday

 

Well, up early, got the work done, took a bath, got ready to go over to Carmen’s for Easter dinner. What a very nice dinner it was. Baked ham with pineapple, spinach greens, salad, hot cross buns, regular rolls and bread. A delicious cake made by Kim (daffodil) and ice cream and a very nice pie made by Carmen. It all was delicious. Milan, Betty, Bill, Billie and me, Kim, Eddie, Betty, Walt and Zack and her friend Dennis. It was very nice. She has such a nice home.
