Ice cream day.

When you think of Liberian food, the first thought is not of ice cream. Well, today proved that idea wrong.

Jenny and I got up to a good breakfast of egg, pepper and onion omelet on bread with peanut butter as well for the bread. After eating we had a good visit with Emmanuel as he decided to take us out to the store because Jenny wanted to pick up some treats for the kids. We left the house and we faced the busyness of the roads as we traveled to ‘The Exclusive Superstore’. This is their equivalent to our Walmart.

After the visit to the Liberian Walmart, we stopped in for a visit to Mother Wintee’s sister, Anti. She’s been struggling with a foot and leg problem for 6 months. The doctors think it was something from some insect that may have stung her. It caused her leg to swell up and it made it very difficult to walk. She still has trouble putting weight on that foot, but it’s a little better.

Next door there was some furniture being built so I decided to walk over and see the crew. They used all hand tools and many hands to help. I told them about my work back in the states, that we work with wood also and they were happy to let me get a picture with them.

After our furniture visit we headed out in the heat of the day and the busiest roads (at least it seemed the busiest time).

We ended up at the ‘Nice Cream’ shop for a special treat from Emmanuel.

I had mango and Oreo, while Jenny got strawberry and chocolate. Emmanuel picked some up for Mother Wintee. Smart man.

We stopped again for some rice and headed home. Groceries were unloaded and we ate some palm butter over rice.

My afternoon ended up being on the phone for over 2 hours with Verizon getting my international plan straightened out. It’s working good now so I’m happy.

Tonight we may start to watch an episode of ‘The Chosen’ that we downloaded on Jenny’s phone and we can stream to their TV. That would require another long story to explain.

Jenny and Mother Wintee just finished mixing koolaid for them to sell tomorrow. They are now doing dishes from the fresh muffins that were baked to sell.

The little girl, Destin, couldn’t sit still for the picture as she was busy playing around. Couldn’t be because of the bubblegum sucker Jenny gave her.
