Today, we needed to do some annual medical testing (blood work and mammograms) so that the results would be at our doctors in Reno when we go thru there in May. So, we fasted the night before thinking we’d do the lab first then find a breakfast place before going for the scans. We like to eat locally. That’s half the benefit of seeing America – eating regional foods. While waiting for the blood to be drawn, we used our smart phones to seek out a nearby restaurant. There’s a local NM restaurant called Wecks but we passed on that. Tim’s Place sounded even more local so we headed there.
We were warmly greeted and seated. Our waiter took our beverages order. Then a young man (mid-20’s we guessed) came over and introduced himself as Tim and welcomed us to HIS place. He saw the band-aid on my arm and asked about it. After I told him I has just had a blood test, he told me about a time he had been hospitalized and had had an IV in his arm. This might seem out of place or strange but Tim is a highly functional and capable restaurateur who also has Downs Syndrome.
