The Story Behind My AmericaWhile strolling the quiet streets of Southern Pines on a recent warm August Saturday, I came upon this almost Norman Rockwell worthy scene. Ordinary people were enjoying a bit of a break from their busy work week to have breakfast together and catch up on their lives. Friends were meeting friends and neighbors were greeting neighbors. Only in small town America is this atmosphere present. We are blessed to live here. This same scene was probably playing out across the nation in other similar small towns who supported locally owned restaurants. The second thought that occurred to me was that Betsy is a very successful and hard-working business woman who was able to follow her dream to fruition and is now reaping the benefit of her hard work and planning. In America, women are freer to make these choices. I applaud her for her initiative and spirit!
