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

February 24, 1942 Diary

Tuesday, 55th Day - 310 Days to Follow

Written by Margie Arbuthnot

Down to zero this morning.
[Grandpa must have bought Grandma a new thermometer yesterday when they were in town.]
I washed today.
Don couldn't get the car started this morning so Dad and Donny had the milking to do.
A letter from Nora.
A. Iona & Mother today.
Cloudy tonite.  Boring tonite over Radio, Sullimans & Pastore.
Margie sold the calf to Mr. Fredell for $60.

 Click here for a list of 1940's radio shows.  The one that Grandma was listening to that night is not listed.  I'm not sure I have it spelled correctly.  If you happen to know what it was that she was listening to, please comment and let us know.
