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.

Sat. Aug. 19, 1961
62°
Up at 8.00 and had breakfast then trimmed walks. Took Lin to hair dressers. Watered yard.
Beautiful day.
Went to Dicks and then Dick took his Pontiac to Linda and left it there. Tillie, Gail and I went in my car to Viola Gills and then Dick drove my car with Evelyn, Tillie, Ronald, Gail and I in it to Svehliks, where we spent the afternoon and Eve. It was Dicks 48th birthday and they had a large birthday cake for him. Ed, Dick and the boys took the canoe down to the cone and paddled around. I stayed with the women. Had a martini.
Later on we saw pictures of the Svehliks camping trip to Washington.
Got home at 10.30. Lin went to Warwick Tent Theatre and got home about 1.00.
