Please visit The Boilermaker Restaurant and Bar, hosted by Chip Pugh and Lelah Johnson. Kindest bar in Lima , with great food

Friend called me up to let me know another friend was in town. Invited my wife and myself to meet them for brunch. Always nice to stay in touch with old friends. To top it off, he bought brunch for all of us that afternoon. Thanks for the invite and brunch, good times.

A 12 yr old boy, fighting cancer, raised money and bought 124 Easter baskets for other hospitalized kids. He wanted them to feel the kindness that he felt, when he received gifts in the hospital. How inspiring is that ? Thanks to Frank Caprio for sharing this amazingly selfless act of kindness
