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. Aug 17, 1961
56°/75°
Beautiful, cool morning. Up at 7.00. Tillie up at 7.30, made beds and then began making biscuits and cooking ham.
Worked in yard for an hour.
Went to First Nat. in afternoon. Anita, Maureen and Paula came about 3.00.
At 3.30 I, Maureen and Paula took a trip down to Coventry and picked up Louise Griggs and then home. Later on Frank came and then Dick and Evelyn.
Had supper in yard and sat there till it was below 70°. Frank and Dick played ball with a potato.
Then went in the house and sat talking till Lin came home.
Afterwards had coffee and cookies. Washed dishes after company left.
Dick rigged the canoe.
