This is a crazy shopping weekend in Texas, its Tax Free weekend so the stores are really ringing up sales, the aisles are crowded and the parking lots are a mess.  In all the humanity out and moving today I saw a real random act of kindness and it truthfully does restore my faith in young folks.

Costco, the cafe part, tables were knee deep in kids, overturned cups, hot dogs and no where to sit, my grandson found us a table as I was grabbing our cold drinks to go with the yummy pizza that is always thick with cheese and fresh at the Costco cafe (not to mention cheap)  so we had just sat down.

The tables are 3 in a row and we were in the middle row, nearest the wall an older lady was in a motorized chair going by, she hit two tables in her journey, it seemed she did not have good control of the chair/cart.  I watched and soon she had made a lap half around the area and was on the other outside, where she stopped, then hit another table, this one empty.  I told my grandson, this poor older lady may need some help.  She was sitting in the chair/cart very dazed looking but about 3 feet from the empty table,  about this time a young couple, they looked like college students approached the lady and of course I could not hear what they were saying but the young man, lifted the lady out of the chair, onto the her feet, steadied her and helped her to the empty table... then he lifted the chair up and scooted it to the table, the young lady went and got the older lady a drink and some napkins..  they shook her hand and left.

This was a wonderful thing to witness, I am sure my grandson who is 11 will remember how the older lady was smiling when the young couple left.  Shortly after a middle aged lady showed up with food for two and sat with the older lady.  America is a great place to live.  I am blessed to still be able to walk to my own table, to get my own food, but its nice to believe if I were unable someone would be kind enough to help me.

Living in Texas we still see many of the "old ways"  and I am believing those values are upheld everyday in all parts of America.
