Charrette

My very first charrette – “an intensive planning session where citizens, designers and others collaborate on a vision for development.” Jibe invited me and other community members to check out possibilities for improving signage on local trails.

In the range of design choices, from traditional to artistic signage, we all encouraged a design more in the artistic range. I’m looking forward to see what the design team comes up with.

I love helping Thais and Lenin when work (or golf) conflicts with the kids’ activities. On Tuesday and Thursday, I picked up Carson at basketball, then picked up Sophia from volleyball at St Ignatius, a quick lunch and 30 minutes later I dropped off Carson at St Ignatius, and drove Avery and Carson back home.
