In the early 90’s, my father, who was a pastor at a small church in Reading, would take the senior citizens group from the church to Shady Maple every other month or so for lunch. My grandmother would often go with the group. That tiny, little woman would eat SOO much! She’d get a big salad, soup, 3 or 4 plates full of main food, and about 3 desserts. We always joked that Shady Maple LOST money on her! My grandmother passed away about 20 years ago, but memories like this one always make me smile.
