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.

Up at 7.45. Beautiful morning. Bert took Linnea to work at 8.00. We packed up and left about 9.20 and were home at 10.50.
Lin was home and we had lunch in the yard.
Then went to Carls and then we went to the beach. Back and had coffee and cookies and cheese.
Francis & Valerie came over for a while and we talked about our family. Left there about 7.15 and went to Sanders where we sat and talked about our family. Later on had coffee & coffee bread.
They gave us a lot of gladiolas and we left there about 9.45.
Stopped at Pettersons and gave htem some flowers, then went home.
Gave some glads to Evelyn Fredericks and Tillie and I sat talking to them till 11.20. Lin went to bed right after we got home.
We got home and to bed at 11.30.
