Recently when traveling through Lufkin, Texas with my husband and two daughters ages 9 and 13, we stopped for dinner at a local restaurant. There were no seats in the regular dining area, so we had to settle for a table in the bar area, which was less comfortable and desirable. In just a few moments, a lady recognized our predicament and said she and her husband were leaving the restaurant, so they offered us their table. Our girls had already begun entertaining themselves so we said no thanks. I had just leaned over to my husband to comment on how thoughtful the woman was when another lady came over and offered her table to us as well. I couldn’t believe that two separate people had noticed us and had been kind enough to look after our welfare. It looks like southern hospitality is alive and well in Lufkin, Texas.
