Tuesday night, we practiced some bedtime mindfulness by doing light yoga, a gratitude meditation, bedtime affirmations, and talking about ways we like to calm our brains. Residents mentioned things like soft piano music, coloring, online gambling, tv, reading, and puzzles helping to calm their mind before bed. Good conversation, light stretching, and deep breathing left everyone feeling calm, relaxed, and ready for a good night's sleep. 😴

Saturday, we got our groove on with an afternoon of dancing fun! Residents danced along to music from multiple genres; we even busted out the noisemakers for Harry Belafonte's "Jump In The Line". Quite a few residents used to cut a rug back in the day, and some just showed up to watch the staff have fun, but either way a good time was had by all!

This escalated quickly.

We started putting together a small spring auction.

Then companies started stepping up.

And now we’re approaching 50 packages — and these are not your average silent auction items.

Things like:

• a private wine class from Total Wine
• hotel and resort stays across Minnesota
• comedy shows, museums, and theatre tickets
• a Weber grill, a full-size swimming pool, and more ways to enjoy Minnesota
• unique experiences, local favorites, and some really fun finds
• memorabilia from some of the biggest legends in Minnesota sports

…and a few things we’re still not sharing yet 👀

We’re still adding to it, and it’s shaping up to be a really good one.

Auction opens April 20.

Last week, we really leaned into our Country of the Month, Egypt with three days of activities. Tuesday, the residents learned a very condensed version of the 8000+ year history of the Egyptian region; they even tried their hand at some words in Arabic. Wednesday, our monthly CILC tour taught the residents about the mummification process in Ancient Egypt. Thursday evening, the residents made their own versions of the Great Pyramids of Giza, complete with a little sparkle. Did you know that the Egyptian Mau, the national cat of Egypt, is thought to be the oldest domesticated cat breed in the world? They also enjoyed making & eating Shamy (Egyptian flatbread) along with Salatet Zabadee (cucumber mint yogurt dip).

Please take a look and share your perspective!

At the Minnesota Capitol, decisions made this session will shape something many people don’t think about—
until it becomes deeply personal.

The ability to stay close.

Close to family.
Close to familiar faces.
Close to the community that still feels like home.

Across Minnesota, seniors and adults with disabilities depend on local care to remain connected to the people and places that matter most.

For many families, that reality comes quickly—
a fall, a diagnosis, a moment when everything changes.

And in that moment, nothing matters more than being able to stay close.

In many communities, especially outside the metro, that access isn’t easily replaced.

When it changes, the impact is immediate.

Families travel farther.
Visits become less frequent.
And staying connected becomes harder at the moment it matters most.

This isn’t about politics.

It’s about whether care will be there—close to home—when our families need it.

We believe that matters.
