Oh Internet, how I miss thee


It’s funny the things you do, the things you learn in a different country.  Have I mentioned how much I love and admire my resourceful husband?  The things that would reduce me to tears, or gnashing of teeth, or both honestly, he takes in stride and manfully figures out a way to deal with all of them.  So, in our new “up is down” world Husband Dear must make many trips to the phone company to figure out how to get a phone/internet to our apartment.  After a week of many trips and many promises to come, at last the phone man comes.  It is hard to find our place because in “up is down” world we do not have house numbers or street names…but still life continues and business is done and at last the phone man comes.  And when the phone man comes he…does not hook up our phone.  But instead hands my husband a coil of wire and says, “When this cable is run to your house, let me know and we’ll turn your phone on.”   What?????  And this is the part where I would completely break, but God in His grace has given me Husband Dear who goes about figuring out the best way to run cable to our place.  How I love that man!
