More thanks for Nell Thorn in our lives and in our town

Susan and Casey,

Thank you for supporting our Wednesday night “book club” at Nell Thorn’s these past several years. We are grateful for the many magical birthday celebrations we had at the communal table you religiously reserved for us.

You have always demonstrated the value of community and the importance of celebrating with each other. We will forever cherish that. Enjoy the next chapter! We will miss you dearly.

And the Wednesday

Night Book Club

Casey and Susan:

Thank you for so many years of sweet pleasure – at the Wild Iris Bistro for guests and “special guests” at Nell’s on the Hill where locals ruled and everyone else knew about the cuisine before they arrived and at the New Nell’s with the gorgeous bar and beautiful deck. Thank you for Natalie, Aaron, Rebecca, Denise, Jen, Beth Ann, Emily Ann and Madison, who have made Nell’s feel like home. Thank you for the flowers and all the special touches that show you care. And thank you for Shea, Tamara, Rianna and the new owners that will carry your amazing vision into the future.

We have said many times that if we ever listed our house for sale, the tag line would read “lovely single family home three blocks from Nell Thorn Restaurant,” because La Conner would not be what it is if you had not taken the big risk and shot for the moon.

Much love,

Allan Olson and Charlotte
