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 30 - April 1, 1991 Easter


Saturday, March 30, 1991

 

Cloudy when we got up. David came this morning and had coffee. David has a bad cold. Billie and Jason took the lawnmower over to be checked over for the summer. We didn’t do much of anything. Betty came and got me, we went for a ride in the new car. Carmen had to go to work today at 3 PM. Betty, Walt and Brogan here for supper. Betty got it and washed the dishes. Betty putting pills, breathing apparatuses to me today.

Easter Sunday. A very nice sunny day, on the cold side. Walt up this morning for coffee. I took a bath. A very good Easter gift is having Zack with us. He looks very good. At Kim’s for the dinner. Tom’s 87-year-old grandfather, his mother, Walt, Betty, Zack, Carmen, Brogan, Betty S, Arnold, Nicholas, Billie Joe and me. Dorothea called in PM. A very nice dinner and enjoyable day at Kim and Tom’s. Most delicious ham, spinach, mashed potatoes, carrots, onions, Harvard Beets, hot cross buns, regular rolls.
