Randy and Katy Smelser

Americans living in Germany but citizens of heaven

April

April: We are both healthy and safe, along with the extended family. We also are trying to take a walk or ride bikes to keep us fit.
Katy just brought home a package of toilet paper so we are all set. We are rich – toilet paper is the new gold, where people run to for security. And that Katy has already offered some to others who have not been able to find any. My Precious!

End of April: I gave blood. They were not expecting the big response to the blood drive and ran out of bags and had to turn people away – after me. I think for many it might have been excuse to get out and be with people from our part of town even with social distancing. I waited for about 30 minutes just to get in the door. The waiting was good – in the sunshine and an ex-student of Katy (I also had tutored her son) was there and we talked. Outside we could talk without mask but once inside the building talking was made difficult with mask. I hope I do not have to preach with one on.
