Last night after volunteering at St. Rita’s I had some very good pizza at the relatively new Beer Barrel in Lima. I went with Eric’s parents, John and Marie, Joe, and Dorothy (a.k.a. Mrs. Joe). I never had their pizza before tonight. Marie and I split a small with ham, mushroom, and onion. We decided to try their pizza since our waitress suggested it. Speaking of our server… I learned that he went to school in Delphos, and now she lives just outside of Columbus Grove. She seemed pretty interesting.
The big news of the day was however Eric’s improvements. He was able to nod his head yes and no to a couple of questions, but the funniest thing I heard that he did was stick out his tongue at the therapist after being told to. That is awesome! Although with small steps, Eric is continually showing improvements, and he is actually rapidly taking strides compared to how fast I have heard people with his type of injury do, including myself. I am in awe of his story, and I am going with his sibling, Amy, to a benefit for Eric at BW3 in Defiance. In an earlier post I mentioned Amy and not being aware of her age, bu8t her mom says she is 33… WOW! That’s old, and I hope she does not forget to take me this afternoon due to absentmindedness (senile.) LOL… only kidding I am, because she is only a few steps ahead of me in age. I know from talking to her that she can dish jokes out about other people, and that means she has to be able to take it, too.
