**Fun Fact**: Did you know that Marjorie’s beloved grandfather found a slab of wood being used as part of a chicken coop? He traded his carpentry skills for it, giving the wood a new lease on life as a dining room table where countless family dinners & stories are shared. This “chicken coop” table has been passed down to the next generation and remains as a family heirloom.
