good neighbors

By Andy on May 30, 2014

We’re regularly amazed by neighborly kindness. From tool-lending to truck pick-ups, lighting donations to dessert deliveries (you know who you are!) people are SO helpful. Just this week, our friends, Michael and Clyde, gave us three sheets of Eichler siding, following some repairs.

This is expensive stuff, but they insisted we take it. How generous is that?! We owe them, big time. Then our newest neighbors, Randy and Annie (welcome both!) gave us this book: An Eames Primer, signed by the author (and grandson of Charles and Ray) Eames Demetrios.

Turns out they read fogmodern, were inspired by our journey, and wanted to give us a gift. We are extremely touched by this gesture, and happy to have played a part (however small) in convincing them to join our neighborhood. As you may have guessed, we like it here.

      Aw shucks, now you’re making me blush! If anyone rocks it’s you guys –you’re a credit to the neighborhood, and a pleasure to live up the street from 🙂

    I picked up An Eames Primer at the Eames House Member’s Appreciation day and had Eames Demetrios sign it to my son (also named Eames!) He doesn’t care too much about it right now, but I’m sure he’ll think it’s neat-o when he’s an adult!

      I saw that you got a signed copy –I read your blog/facebook page too! So cool that you named your son Eames (as I know Eames Demetrios agrees). That’s commitment to the cause. Hopefully it’ll help him stay on track design-wise. And I’m sure he’ll grow to love his name!
