MOnday 25 Aug Day 5

This is our first morning without obvious bad news. The power is on, cameras are working and there is no sign of anything bad happening. Late afternoon was particularly scary because from our cameras pointed NW there was a new pretty active plume of smoke rising very close to our house. This is where all the helicopter activity was - the really good news is the plume was gone by early evening and it is not back this morning. Things look very clear to the NW of our house - which is the area we are most concerned about. Now we need to find ways to distract ourselves today.


Last night about 730 we had a knock on the door and it was a lady (Cassie) who came to bring us food. It was just about the nicest thing anyone has ever done - the community support has been very heartwarming. We took a photo with her you can see in the slide show.

In the evening, we did some music therapy at Silvermoon Brewing - an invitational jam that happens every Monday night. That was a good distraction. We also were invited to dinner by two good friends from our incredible music community here. We are so thankful for all the support.
