January 6. Daddy discovered early this morning that Martha had tried to Skype in the wee hours of the morning. So he got onto Skype and finally got in touch with her although we couldn’t see her. She mainly just wanted to wish us a Happy Anniversary. We will talk with her more this weekend. We had a busy day shopping and hit most of the major stores, including two new ones. Went to Seng Da early and made quite a few purchases there. Brought things back to the house and then went to West. Food Link down next to Hardware House has just recently been opened and is operated by a former worker from Food Mart. They don’t have a lot of stock yet, but are expecting a shipment this weekend. They also have a little coffee shop. Several of their workers were also former Food Mart employees. One woman worker talked to us at the checkout. She remembers us from way back when we had two little girls tagging along with us as we shopped. 😊 At that time, she worked at the Bintangor West store, which has been closed for many years now. The other new store was Yida Investment which is located where Papindo West used to be. It is all renovated and arranged differently and looks very nice. The only thing I didn’t like was the bottle shop just to the right as you go in the store (where the electronics and other non-food items used to be). After shopping the West stores, it was time for lunch. Came back to the flat and prepared tuna, tomatoes, cucumber, and cheese for sandwiches. Also had peanut butter and marmalade. Before going out again, we took a short nap. Then we covered three of the major uptown stores. Will have to hit the rest tomorrow. Got some chicken sandwiches at the Papindo Café and brought them home to go with our supper. I cooked some carrots to go with the chicken. After supper, I wrote an e-mail. Then did the dishes. Had a snack and wrote in my journal. January 7. A strong mold smell wafted through the bedroom window most of the night last night and kept waking me up. So this morning after breakfast and quiet time, we moved out of that bedroom, each of us now in separate rooms. I started comparing symptoms I have to symptoms that Martha has, and we have a lot of similar symptoms. Wonder if she has mold in her apartment. After getting our rooms changed, we went off to the shops again—going to Papindo Central just to get butter as it was the only place we had seen it. Then to Istana (where we bought nothing), Bintangor (where we bought only fresh veggies — broccoli and Napa cabbage), and Hot Spot. Back to the house for a pit stop and wee snack. Then around noon, we headed out to Pacific Garden Hotel restaurant for our anniversary dinner. Daddy enjoyed a nice lasagna, and I a shepherd’s pie. A little later, we happened to think that today is Daddy’s 20th spiritual birthday so we counted the dinner for that celebration as well. After dinner, we stopped and got a few more things at Papindo. Went to ChemCare for wet wipes and YuYu for yarn and a couple other items, Farmset to check on the price of a heavy-duty lawn mower for the airstrip. The rest of the afternoon, I worked on crocheting. Had a little left to finish with the brown; and this evening, I used up the two skeins of brown I bought yesterday and ran short just before I got to the end. Guess I’ll have to get one more skein. Also wrote an e-mail to C&C this evening. “Is any thing too hard for the LORD?” Genesis 18:14a And Jeremiah 32:17 says “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:” Is there anything too hard for the LORD? There is NOTHING too hard for the LORD.
