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

Saturday, 80th Day - 285 Days to Follow

Written by Margie Arbuthnot

I didn't do much today.
Made cookies and usual - sat around.
The men folks cleaned grain this P.M.
Darline went home with Uncle Will.
I pig tailed her hair for her.
Aunt Ione sewing rag rugs tonight and I will crochet some.
"I got pincked this evening."  And how!

Hum, I wonder what it meant to "get pincked"?
I wonder if she meant pinched?
Oh how I wish I could ask her.
