We had a work party on Tuesday which included the tremendous help of the following people. Sarah Robison and her wonderful kids Isaiah, Faith, Caleb, and Sam, Kaitlin Wesslemen, Nick Hovland of Cloverleaf Landscape Management, Tim Cathersal, Rob Baila and Michael Ford of ioCreative, as well as the lovely and knowledgeable Rhona Nyens who somehow escaped being photographed. Instead, you will soon be able to find a photoshopped snapshot of Rhona and my coworker Zack on my design business website. Check back for a link here soon.
We finished off the day with a nice barbecue dinner of Turkey burgers and cheesy weiners (mmmm cheeeeeeese- d’oh!). We were having so much fun, I forgot to take pictures. The highlight of the day for me was taking pictures of Nick leading a group of people ranging from age 2 to early fifties transplanting a tree salvaged from outside of New Edge Design’s Showroom (it was blocking the sign and logo I designed for them) while being interviewed on my cell phone by the Bellingham Herald about our involvement with the tour. Trust me, I’m not smart enough to have come up with this on my own.
