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.

Tues, June 20, 1961
Up at 8.00. Bruce left for work a few minutes later. Wanda was up when I got downstairs. I had a cup of coffee, then waited for Tillie. She came down at 10.00 and we had toast and orange juice and coffee.
Wanda went down town to get her hair fixed. We stayed home and read. I met Wanda at bus stop and helped carry her bundles home.
Sat around in afternoon and talked mixed daiquiris before dinner. Had meat loaf, baked potatoes, salad and strawberry shortcake. While Wanda washed dishes Bruce washed my car. Ray took us for a ride up to his tree farm, then around the country. It was a beautiful day. The trees have grown a lot since last year. We were home at dark. Sat and talked till 10.30. Cool in Eve. Mr. Jordan gave us some strawberries.
