Do you have photo memories of the Bicentennial in 1976? Or any photos of the Quasquibicentennial in 2001? I found a bunch of fun, vintage photos in my family albums. https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/04/memories-of-1976-and-2001-anniversaries.html

Levi Younger of Gloucester, Massachusetts is the 5th patriot I've written about in this series on the Revolutionary War ancestors in my family tree. He was captured at sea as a prisoner of war. In a twist of fate, his son, Levi Younger, Jr. was also captured at sea during the War of 1812. https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/04/my-revolutionary-war-patriots-levi.html

Patriot #4 in my series on my Revolutionary War ancestors is Daniel Glover. He was the brother of General John Glover of Marblehead, Massachusetts, and member of the famous Glover Regiment that saved General George Washington several times. https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/04/my-revolutionary-war-patriots-daniel.html

I love weathervanes with connections to my own family history. This one is from my son-in-law's family. It is a wooden replica of his grandfather's boat made into a weathervane https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2015/12/weathervane-wednesday-this-one-has.html

Trump talked to CHILDREN at today's Easter Egg Roll in sick and disturbing ways — walking up to little kids holding Easter eggs to call Kamala a "low IQ person" and smiling while talking about killing Iranian civilians. But that’s not even the worst of it…

Historians will be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.

From Trump's deleted speech- “The United States can’t take care of daycare,” he said. “We’re a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of daycare.” Then he went further, calling daycare, Medicaid, and Medicare “all these little things” and “all these little scams.” He said the federal government has one job: “military protection.” States should raise their own taxes to pay for the rest."

It's Weathervane Wednesday! Today's weathervanes were photographed in Madrid, Spain. Three over one building! https://nutfieldgenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/04/madrid-spain-three-weathervanes-over.html
