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.

Sun. Aug 13, 1961
Up at 8.00 and shaved and had Eggs and bacon for breakfast. Read paper. Left for Misquamit Beach down 102 to 3. Stopped for lunch in a grove on #1. Had a drink first then sandwiches & coffee.
Went in swimming twice. Water about 65°. Sunny and clean. We could see Block Island. Lay on sand till 4.00. On the way home we stopped and changed our clothes and had a drink.
Had another drink when we got home.
Had lobster a la Newburg and peas and raspberry short cake with whipped cream.
Showed my slides in Eve.
To bed at 10.00 and Tillie irrigated.
My head has ached very little since last Wednesday and then only lightly.
