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. 20, 1961
61°/80°
Up at 7.00. Sunny and nice. Made pancakes for breakfast and the Pettersons came over and had breakfast with us. Larry, Virginia and Lin went to church. While Tillie irrigated the children watched T.V.
Billy and I went over to Pettersons and I washed the dishes and put them away.
When they came home from church, Lin, Tillie and I went to Parkers and spent the day there.
Then back to Parkers and they started the charcoal fire and baked six coffee cans filled with chicken, potatoes, carrots and baked in the cans.
Had dinner in the yard. Carl and Fannie came over later on and we sat and talked in the house when it got too cold outside.
Kenneth showed his slides. Very good. Got home about 10.15.
Not clear today, clouded up in Eve.
