Symbol to indicate a woman who lived in England 1430-1550. The symbol was titled Renaissance Clothing 1430-1550 but I think it shows much more about that time period in history. I found the symbol with respect to my 14th Great Grandmother Ann Clapp who lived from 1455-1500. I like the image.

Coat Of Arms
The Coat of Arms of my 17th Great Grandfather Hans Lauginger. Hans was born in Wurtenberg Germany in 1372. A bit before Martin Luther’s time. Could we say he was a preLutheran?

How is this for a vintage car? A Cadillac-Oldsmobile. I don’t think this flashy green is the original color! However a google search revealed 2 bright green vintage cars:
1953 Cadillac
1971 Oldsmobile

Reading this book made me think of parallels in the McCarthy era in the 1950’s and now sadly the new administration headed by Donald Trump. Highly recommended reading.

On the news today I heard that a former Head of State in Norway was formally held and questioned yesterday when he tried to enter the U.S. He was traveling on his diplomatic passport and the immigration officials felt he was a threat because he had visited Iran at some point in the past.
