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.

Thurs, July 13, 1961
Up at 7.30 and shaved and took dogs out. Then made pancakes for breakfast. Kind of hazy out.
Judy and Til groomed “Coquette.” Tillie irrigated about 10.00 this A.M. Had coffee about 11.30 on porch. Took some pictures.
Left about 12.30 and went to Harrisons and spent the afternoon with them. Three women came in later on, two from Boynton Beach, May, a retired school teacher, another retired telephone operator and Mrs. _____ from Riverside.
Lew made short bread biscuits and built fire in the yard and roasted hot dogs and hamburgers and we had coffee and later on Strawberry short cake with whipped cream. Sat and talked till about 7.30 when the women left. We left at 8.00 and were home at 9.40.
Dick and Evelyn had company from Chicago and we had a drink and sat talking till 10.30 when they left. To bed at 11.00.
The Dalys and their families.
Also the Stones. The two women are sisters.
