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.

Mon. Aug 7, 1961
60°/90°
Up at 8.15 and shaved. Had peaches and orange juice and coffee for breakfast. Wrote letters in forenoon.
Raining most of morning. Sun came out about 11.00.
After lunch we went to Dicks and Tillie done the ironing. I went to bank and got some checks and shopped in “Almacs.”
Ronnie and his friend Jeffrey went with me to Newport ice cream Co where I bought a quart of ice cream.
We finished most of it together with Tillie, then put the rest in refrigerator.
Went back to Lins and I Edged walks. Tillie made supper. Then we worked in garden and I talked with the woman next door. Then read paper.
Had supper in yard.
Watched Wells Fargo in Evening.
