losing my mind one stitch at a time

My "secret" blog of all things left-handed knitting and dementia in my life. From kids to cables and medical bills to maniacal rants about knitting lists, it's all here

helping out at the National Ornamental Metal Museum

In response to a plea for skilled and unskilled help, our entire family went to the NOMM today. We did everything from metal work to emptying kitchen cabinets in preparation for a kitchen renovation in the guest house!
The kids bailed early and called Uncle Mikey to pick them up, but Ginger and I stayed later. We didn't stay for the promised dinner though. Home to clean up and enjoy the last of a long and very busy weekend.
