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.

58°/76°
Up at 9.00 and went down stairs and Wanda was up. Tillie came down stairs and we had breakfast. She mixed dough for biscuits. Then irrigated. I went downtown and got a yeast cake.
Later on I wrote to Dick & Evelyn, Dot & Harold.
Went to P.O. and also paid some bills for Wanda.
Coming home it began to pour and I was soaked.
Changed my clothes and Tillie washed and ironed them.
In Eve, we had lobster tail supper. Ray and I took a ride up to the tree farm, saw Jordan clipping his hedge, then drove around for a while, stopped and Ray bought some ice cream to take home.
Sat around and watched T.V. till bed time.
