One of the things I love most about Texas is the Southern Hospitality and the over all kindness of Texans!
Texans hardly ever meet a stranger!
A couple weekends ago we were shopping in a little town (Glen Rose, TX) and we met an awesome man! He introduced himself and then talked to us like he'd known us forever.
He'd lived in that town for 80 something years. And his 92 year old brother drove a couple hours that morning to visit him.

I just love that!
And Mason loved him, too! He made the most awesome train noises and even let us video it. My father in law has it on his phone, so I'll have to get him to send it to me.

ReplyDeleteI love this!! I always think it's so great whenever you get to sit and visit with an older person. They always have the best stories and advice.

Oh, that reminds me of what "going to coffee" was like with my Grandpa when I was a little girl. We always met very interesting people with very interesting stories! Great post!

What a fun story... I never meet a stranger! My kids always ask me, "Do you know them?!" lol My six year old gets it though, because he's the same way. And he knows everyone in our small town, more so than the rest of us even!
