One town over there is a country store on the main route that has the basics in food and beverages for sale along with crafts from local artists. The best part of the store however is that there are a half dozen tables and they serve breakfast! It is a place that I would imagine many drive by at 50 mph and don't necessarily take note of hidden gem outside their window.
It seems to me that it is completely run by women with Kelly's name on the door, a woman short order cook on the grill and one waitress, Patty.
As soon as you walk in and seat yourself you are offered fresh coffee. It is a welcome sight in the morning!
Within minutes it is apparent that this is a local spot where people gather and catch up with friends to share the latest joys and sorrows. There is table hopping and chatting from booth to booth. Although I do not fit in quite so well as to be chatting with everyone, it is such a pleasant environment.
From scrambled to sunny side up with bacon or sausage, or maybe an omelet with a a side of homefries and a grilled english muffin, all the food is delicious and tastes like you are sitting in your best friend's kitchen.
The icing on the cake to what makes it a great start to the day though is Patty the waitress. There are so many people who work hard and really make a difference and deserve to be told how much the way they do their job matters and makes the days of others more enjoyable. Patty is one of those people.
I have looked up the address for the restaurant and have sent Patty a thank you for the important role she plays in her community.
Is there anyone you see everyday that you should thank?
