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.

Fri. Aug 11 1961
Up at 7.45 and Tillie up at 8.00. I fixed window in dining room with new sash cord.
Sunny and warm. Tillie irrigated at 8.30 this morning.
Went to Dr. Carlson at 11.30 and he cleaned our teeth. Then we went to laundry and had that done. Then went to Dicks and hung them out. Ronnie and Robin came in later on.
It was hot this afternoon. Robin and Ronnie played a game of chess. Evelyn didn’t have anything to be ironed.
None of the beds upstairs were made. Went home and I Edged East garden.
Had dinner in yard.
80° in the house in Eve.
Went to bed at 10.00 1-2
