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 12, 1942 Diary

Thursday, 71st Day - 294 Days to Follow

Written by Margie Arbuthnot

Nothing much doing today.
Men folks haul in hay.
I shortened pants for Donnie and worked on a rug.
It has been cloudy on a part of today.
Clear to nite.

Besides woolen strips, Grandma would use the stockings that had ran or were worn out.  With two daughters and a daughter-in-law, she had a steady supply of stockings.

Silk stockings, held in place by girdle clips.
