It is now the middle of July. The fireworks are over and life here in Lava has taken on some sort of a routine. Fortunately it is always interupted. Potlucks are almost every week, and thankfully so. If you want good food in this area [Idaho] you have to cook it yourself or go to a potluck! We are both working at a Massage Studio, and John is also doing some carpentry around town. 
Johnney and I got our first rides on a zip line! A few nights ago Kathryn and Milan opened a new zip line at their place and it was dedicated to "Bob Rush" who passed last December. It was a potluck and about 80 people showed up, along with many dogs and kids. Lots of fun! Most people had left by midnight but a few of us spent the night and went for a hike the next morning after breakfast that included some rock climbing. And it was the first time since the mid 90's, when it began, that my fear of heights didn't kick in!
Thanks to Kathryn and Milan for all they do!
Tonight we are off to hear some of the locals play at one of two bars in this town. We actually know them, and have heard them play before, so we know it will be good! This Saturday there will be a Brazilian drumming troup which should be interesting!
And a big THANK YOU to Tahra and Kevin for the vehicle loan so we can get groceries! [the nearest decent grocery store is a 45 minute drive each way...]
We hope you are all having a fabulous summer!
