Welcome!

My family came to what is now Boulder, Colorado, arriving when Boulder was three months old. My Great-great-grandfather was Carson W. Arbuthnot and with him, he brought his four sons and a son-in-law. Since a little child I have loved the history of this beautiful mountain area, the legacy's of the Natives who were here when my family arrived, and the way our community has grown to what it is today. My blog is dedicated to seeking evidence of all that happened. The good, the bad and the ugly, I will share the evidence of what I find.

I also share Boulder County and Colorado History through entertaining storytelling. Dressed as one of my early Boulder County ancestors, I will make you laugh, smile and sometimes cry as I share the stories of the people who came before us and who established these communities that we enjoy today. Please visit my storytelling and events pages for information on performances.

Welcome to my blog, I hope you enjoy your time here.

Sincerely,
Donlyn Arbuthnot

January 18, 1942 Diary

Sunday, 18th Day - 347 Days to Follow

Diary of Margie Arbuthnot

14 degrees above at 7o'clock this A.M.
This has been a lovely day, but lonesome.
Donnie went to Loren Hornbaker's this P.M.
Dad & I alone all P.M.
25 degrees above at 8 o'clock.
Don bot a heifer from Marjorie's for $35.

I don't know if the photo here is of one of the heifers that Don bought from his sister Marjorie or not.
Interesting that she had cattle to sell as she was living in Boulder at this time.
