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. Aug. 22, 1961
68°/82°
Up at 6.30 and had coffee and a crap. Cloudy. Tillie up at 7.00 and we saw him off.
After breakfast Tillie mixed bread and then irrigated. Made a lemon meringue pie. Sun came out once in a while. Trimmed bushes, shaved, showered, had lunch, went to bank and got some checks.
Went to store and met Dot Belcher there. Going up there tomorrow. Home and had coffee and buns. Sunny and warm.
Had a short nap. Tillie talked with Evelyn.
Helen & George Tourgee and Mrs. Thorpe came here and we had a nice supper. Dick, Evelyn and Gail came about 7.00 and brought the sail and outfit with him and put it together in the yard. Then we sat around talking till about 9.00 when Dick and Evelyn went home later on we played “Crazy Eight.” They left about 11.00.
