This blog shares the journals of my great-grandfather Nelson Hjalmar Lindgren (b. 14 Oct 1884 Sweden d. 3 Mar 1976 E. Prov, RI). These writings give a window into a fascinating man and give the story of a remarkable life of a first generation Swedish-American. The daily entries of Nil's journals from 50 years ago will give our family a greater connection to our past.

Up at 6.15 and shaved. Had my breakfast and Tillie was up at 7.15. Listened to Garroway.
Took the car to garage and had wheels aligned. Sunny and nice.
Used Ettas car to bring Mr. Straker to Lake Worth to get his car, which has been painted. We took him down and left him, then on the way home. We stopped at A&P and at Vachons and got mangoes.
Tillie and Etta drove me down to Randalls Auto Shop and I picked up my car. They two went shopping.
Then home and we went to the beach and got home at 2.00. Had lunch and then a nap. Till 4.00.
