Betty's Pies

I took the boys for lunch (and pie) here today, to escape the drywall dust of my kitchen renovation.

This little restaurant is an icon along Minnesota's North Shore. It's located just north of Two Harbors, which is about 20 minutes or so north of Duluth.

Betty's Pies started in 1956 in a fishing shack. It's really an interesting story. If you'd like to read more about the history of Betty's Pies, or if you'd like to order a pie, click here.

(the Five Layer Chocolate is one of my favorites!)

Words of Wisdom

This poem was found in my 96 year old Grandfather's wallet after he passed in 2008. It was written in 1965 by Walter D. Wintle.

"The Man Who Thinks He Can"

If you think you are beaten, you are,

If you think that you dare not, you don't,

If you'd like to win, but you think you can't

It's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world you'll find,

Success begins with a fellow's will,

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,

You've got to think high to rise,

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man

But sooner or later the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.
