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. July 21, 1961.
Up at 7.00 and worked around yard. We all went to Harold Bergs place on Salt Pond and spent the afternoon and Evening with them. Went sailing in the sailfish with Dick, then with Tillie – and then with Jean. Tipped over a couple of times with it. Had a nice chicken barbeque.
Warm all day. Over 90° in the city. Went in swimming. Water about 75°. Left about 9.00. Gail stayed down there.
Home and to bed. Slept fine.
