We spent last week at Song of the Morning ranch preparing for a big weekend festival now called Spirit & Nature. My job was to get up at 5am and make the coffee for everyone and just help out as needed. In exchange I got to enjoy yoga classes and nature. Monika first came to ranch as an "yoga fest" intern when she was in college. Her connection continues to be strong after working for the organization over the pandemic and now just being a volunteer. She spent the winter remaking and updating their website. This was my first stay in the community (as opposed to staying on the ranch) so it was a bit more comfortable. I was disappointed that my trip to California was cancelled for a variety of reasons, but it all worked out quite nice to spend the time in Michigan.
We drove back to Madison on Monday. I had a couple of appointments on Tuesday and then made my way back to Rochester. It was so nice to be home again and spend time with Jim. I had flooring to continue. I finished Jim's office and my walk in closet. All that is left is my bedroom and the stair which I hope to finish by the end of the month. While I have a lot of projects to work on in Minnesota, I have about 6 month to get the condo ready to sell. We will meet with a real estate stager next week to get a list of what to do (although we have a good idea of what needs to happen). I had hoped to unload the condo to a neighbor as-is this fall but the deal fell through. I'm renting it to Monika and Erika in the meantime. Both are glad to have the extra time to figure out what they are doing next.
