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.

Wed, May 31, 1961
69°/85° 5.26/7.09
Up at 7.00 and had my breakfast and read paper. Nice sunny morning. Worked in yard. Beautiful day.
Went for a swim with Etta, Dot and Harold Larkin. Rougher then yesterday.
Home and lunch, then a nap. Tillie ironed.
They came here this forenoon and dug up the sidewalk, where it had caved in and got it ready for the cement. They came about 4.30 and poured the cement and put signs up and lit the flares.
Watched T.V. in Eve. To bed at 10.30. Hum. 57 Bar. 30.12
