Beautiful People

Well it's a Friday night and had a stressful and busy week so Chuck and I decided to go out for dinner tonight at our favorite Chinese restaurant here in town. Brooke was going to the movies with her friends and Brady would be staying over at his friends all night. So we had a few hours to ourselves alone, and decided it would be great to go to a restaurant without the kids. Anyway Chuck and I are sitting at our table waiting and waiting to be waited on as they are short help and very busy. A guy for the next table says to us........."sorry to interrupt, but is there another store in your town besides Pamida?"



We say: "yes there is a Alco just down the street"

He says: "Can you recommend a good hotel to stay at"

My husband says: "Not in town, but there is nice ones out by the interstate."

He says: "Thank you and sorry again to interrupt"

We say: " Oh that's ok your not interruping us"



He then turns back to his table to finish his dinner with his wife. Chuck and I continue to talk to each other again at our table. Chuck realizes these people from out of town are getting ready to leave and says:



"Where you guys from?"

"Where you headed?"



The gentleman was from a small town near Grand Island, Nebraska and his wife had never been out this way. They were headed to visit his mother for her birthday. So we wished them luck on their trip and said goodbye as they walked up to pay.



We finally rec'd our meal at our table and started to eat while they were at the cash register settling their bill. We hear one last word from them as they headed out the door......



"You two have a nice night" They said to Chuck and I



We said: "and you guys too."



Later the waitress came to refill our drinks and said "your meal was taken care of by the gentleman and his wife......"



Chuck and I was shocked!!!



You mean there is still good in the world?



It's amazing when you're having stress in life with layoffs and lots happening in the world and then someone you don't even know takes your 50.00 bill and pays for it without even a second thought. We are so grateful for coming across these two individuals tonight. And not because they bought our meal but because they did something that was so caring for someone who they just met and didn't want noticed for it. It's scary everything going on right now and a night like tonight makes us think we can all help each other out and make a difference in taking care of others. Chuck and I also were thinking how great it would be for us to help someone else out in the same way. In these next couple months maybe years we never know what will happen with our jobs, foreclosures, bills, and the economy, but we hope in this time we can help each other through it.

Thank you couple for Washington. You made a impact on our lives tonight.
