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 8, 1942 Dairy

Sunday, 67th Day - 298 Days to Follow

Written by Margie Arbuthnot

A nice day - snow melted fast and water running every where and so muddy.
Donnie went to see Leo this P.M.
Dad and I home alone all day.


Since this was a Sunday on Grandma's diary, let's take a moment today to remember that while she and her husband are comfortable in their home, there were many in other parts of the world who were not safe in their homes.  Genocide, concentration camps and slave labor were all taking place in Europe on this day in 1942.  And sadly, there are places in the world today were acts just as horrific are still taking place.  So today, let's take a moment of silence to remember those who suffered and died, both then and now.
