Remember the time...

Me neither.

Borrowing a phrase from one of our Frank and Funny greeting cards we sell, I have to laugh at the reality of this phrase. It’s strangely funny when considering the memories that we recall and the one’s that sink into the black hole of personal history. It would seem to make sense if the only memories that stuck were the one’s that seem most significant.

A meaningful conversation. A personal accomplishment. An unexpected surprise.

But that’s not always the case. Some of our most permanent memories are those moments that don’t seem worth remembering and may even be unpleasant.

The smell of the semi-truck of pigs rolling down Highway 18 at 10 am during team briefings. Walking in the back door with a sense of satisfaction after pulling out the weeds that were once between the sidewalk cracks the day before.

Memories such as these stick because they’re embedded with stories with people we love. These particular memories are just a couple of the many embedded in the memory of Marion Design Co. as we move into a new chapter and reminisce about what got us here.

We’re so grateful for the people who have created the memories that embed a foundation of hope and a bright future for design’s capacity to improve lives in our community! We look forward to celebrating all of that on May 5th during our grand opening!
