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

March 19, 1942

Thursday, 78th Day - 287 Days to Follow

Written by Margie Arbuthnot

Cold and Stormy today.  Dad and Don to Niwot this A.M. to sign up on this crops business.
Aunt Ione and I to club this P.M. at Burkes.  Darline at Florence's this P.M.  
Had a letter today.  

From the book by Helen Anderson of the Batchelder Neighbor's Club:

March 19, 1942
Hostess:  Ethelda Burke
Roll Call: Song of Ireland
Paper:  Irish superstitions and folklore.
Reading: "On Maggie O'Brien on being clinicked"

Who was Maggie O'Brien?  She was a young film actress.
I wonder what it meant to be clinicked - (Helen probably meant to write clinked.)
