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

Wednesday, 21st Day - 344 Days to Follow

A nice Day.
I went to Florence today. [her daughter-in-law, west on Niwot Rd]

Don and Flo here this evening than to Marjorie & Johnnys after chores.
Temp at 8pm 8 degrees.

Marjorie and Johnny Knaus

In Margie's diary entry today, the Marjorie that she mentions is not her daughter, but the sister of her daughter-in-law.  Yes, I have two Aunt Marjorie's.  One is Dad's sister and the other is Mom's sister.
I apologize if it gets confusing.
