As someone who was fortunate enough to have a kidney transplant in 2017 I thought I'd post this as a reminder of becoming an organ donor.
I can never thank my altruistic kidney donor, Robin Gilmartin, enough for her gift.
Remember: you only need one kidney. If you're a healthy and fit adult (between ages 18-60) please consider being a living donor.
You may just save someone's life.
Turnback Tuesday visits one of the oldest manufacturing companies, The Bassett Co.
It was started in 1836 by David Bassett who was the pioneer auger manufacturer.
In 1842, the property was passed on to his son, Robert N. Bassett. Robert continued to make augers and added galvanized pump chains to the production line.
He brought much success to this metal specialty manufacturing company with corset steels, dress stays, etc. In 1859, they produced hoop skirt wire and then added covered corset wire.
Thanks as always to the Derby Public Library for sharing interesting local history each week!
This is a great way to boost the community's spirits!
He's diggin' it.
Right paw up ...
and left paw up before he scurried away.
I took this sequence of photos this afternoon through a glass door. Trying to keep busy whilst staying in the house.
