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.

Etta liked my pancakes.
I cut DeCiccos grass and then my own. Sifted compost. Tillie wrote to Edith Benson. Cloudy in afternoon and warm. Took a shower and Tillie irrigated.
In Eve. I went to Royal Castle and bought 4 hamburgers and two French Fries and we had them for supper.
Later on we went to Collangis and played Samba, had coffee, ice cream and cake. Sat and talked later on and we got home at 1.15.
