Pecan or bust

Signed books at Innisfree Book Shop in lovely Meredith on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. (Yup, I learned how to spell it in fourth grade.) It’s part of the Mill Falls Marketplace complex: inns, spas, shops tucked together in a beautiful, walkable plaza with a waterfall in the middle of it. Check it out at www.millfalls.com. 

We saw lots of people all dressed up for a wedding. Jenny from the bookstore said the four inns all hosted weddings so they got lots of wedding party customers, sometimes even brides in gowns.

Jenny and I sat outside and caught people on their way by. Some even bought books! One couple lingered quite a while, swapping stories. Naturally, we got talking about pies. The couple loved to make pies and always provided them for family affairs. And one such affair, Grampa, who loved pecan pie, had to settle for apple. Asked if he wanted seconds, he said:  “Not if you don’t have pecan, I don’t.”  Next time they brought pecan.
