August 4. It’s been quite a day. In the morning, take shower and wash hair. Put laundry in washing machine and start machine. Have morning drinks, quiet time, and dish of tofu pudding with fruit. Cook amaranth. Hang out clothes. Eat a bowl of amaranth, tuna, and walnuts. Go to Dr. Cook for back adjustment. Go to WalMart to look for a few items. Daddy drops me off at home so I can start getting things ready for our trip tomorrow. Goes and gets a few dollars’ worth of gas at Fastop to take us through to Archdale (before Greensboro) tomorrow where he can get a discount at Sheetz, then goes to Big Lots, and last of all to Ingles. While he’s gone, I start getting things ready for our trip. Open twenty-four 16.9-oz. bottles of purified water and add an eighth teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt to each one. Daddy arrives home with some other things I need. Cook hamburger for Daddy’s dinner. Puree the rest of my soup. Put some in freezer, some in fridge for when we get back from the east coast, a travel mug full in fridge to take on trip tomorrow, and the rest in a large mug (twice) for today’s dinner. Afternoon: Add a half teaspoon of ginger, a tablespoon of lemon juice, and a half tablespoon of honey to each of another six of the above mentioned water bottles. Put those six bottles in fridge. Pack clothes, personal items, food, vitamins, and other things to take tomorrow. Relax a while and have a snack. Reorganize the box of display items. Make a smoothie to take too. Put it in fridge. Fix meat and cheese wrap. Eat half for supper and put half in fridge to take on trip. August 5. Up at 6:00. Showered and dressed. Had a.m. drinks and supplements. Fixed eggs to go with Daddy’s breakfast pancakes. Heated up amaranth with tuna and almonds for my breakfast and started eating. After a couple bites, I couldn’t eat anymore, however. Terrible pain in esophagus. One of my supplements must have lodged there, probably the lysine. Tried drinking water, but it didn’t budge. Tried almond milk. Same result. As the pain increased, the body wanted to vomit up whatever was there, but that wouldn’t move it either. Finally decided to try warm almond milk. Success! Pill dislodged! Praise the Lord! Finished packing car. (Daddy had been working on it.) Prayed with C&C and left home around 7:50. Had quiet time in car. Rode in front for the first couple hours and in the back the rest of the way because my foot needed to be elevated most of the time. Had taken sandwiches with us for lunch so didn’t need to stop anywhere for lunch. It was a hot, humid day. Ran into a big rain storm around New Bern. Arrived in James City, east of New Bern, around 2:00, sweaty, dirty, and tired. Daddy pulled into a Burger King parking lot and called the Kohrs. Then we waited inside Burger King for them to come. It was much too hot and steamy to wait in the car or outside. Daddy talked with a young worker there while we were waiting. He was very friendly and obviously a hard worker. The Lord sent another rainstorm before the Kohrs came. They arrived there around 2:30. The rain had mostly slowed down, and we headed out to their vehicle. They took us to dinner at the Stingray in New Bern to eat and fellowship together. I chose a crab soup, and it was delicious, and filling too. We enjoyed getting together with the Kohrs once again. Arrived back at Burger King around 5:00. After we got back into our van, Daddy called Owena. Couldn’t get hold of Amos but talked with Tomas. Tomas said there has been fighting in Okapa over the elections, and some people have gotten killed. They are concerned about some Aziana people who were expected to come through Owena on their way to Aziana, but hadn’t showed up. After that, Daddy called Pastor Charles Tyler of Island Road Baptist Church in Beaufort to let him know that we were on our way to meet him at the church. It was about 6:00 when we arrived there. We got the display set up and talked a bit. Then followed Pastor Tyler to his home Down East. We enjoyed fellowship with him and his wife Candi for the rest of the evening.
