Vince and Peter arrived early for the weekend, on Friday night. Vince got a head-start on projects by cleaning the back porch from the remains of what looked like quite the raccoon party. Thank you, Vince! That was a huge job!
Katie and Jason arrived on Saturday, and enjoyed seeing all of the many improvements made in just the past year. A huge thank you to Peter W. for tirelessly working with the many insurance adjusters and curve balls from the insurance company--if it weren't for his persistence, we would never have the amazing improvements made. Also, an enormous thank you to Peter C. for spending many, many days and weeks working at Shang, meeting with contractors, coordinating more proof of policy details, and more. Again, none of this would have happened without both Peters dedicating hundreds of hours to rebuilding Shang after the fire. You sure know how! (Had to be said!)
Speaking of Morfar/Farfar, it seems that Jason is the newest family member to enjoy Aquavit!
On Sunday morning, Ingrid, Sophia, Peter C. and Dan arrived, and the annual meeting began. While the board was meeting, Jason and Vince gathered wood and brought it to the wood shed. That was efficient!
There were many new updates to report at the Spring Annual Board Meeting--in fact, maybe more changes than ever before. The solar system and new, underground piping and tanks have brought the ranch to a whole new level of functionality. So much so, in fact, that it can take some time to wrap your head around what a game-changer the upgrades mean to the whole Shangri-La experience.
Some of the improvements include:
Keeping the best of the old, and adapting to the best of the new, Shang is more sustainable than ever.

Some of the improvements include:
- A quiet, fully-functional solar system that runs everything with a flip of a switch. It's quiet and does the job!
- Automated pump system that is powered by solar. Will shut off when upper tank full.
- New refrigerator with freezer and ice-maker
- New stove and oven.
- New coffee maker
- New toaster oven
Keeping the best of the old, and adapting to the best of the new, Shang is more sustainable than ever.
