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 6, 1961
Up at 9.00 and shaved. Lin left for church at 9.15 with the Pettersons. Cloudy and foggy.
Had peaches and orange juice for breakfast. Went to Salters and had dinner there. Then Salter took us to Briggs Beach. It cleared up later on and we went in swimming. Water 70°, the warmest Salter has Ever felt it there.
So we spent all afternoon there. About 6.00 we went to Sakonnett Point and looked it over. Then home to Salters. Had supper there.
A very pleasant day.
Home at 9.30.
