I used to go to Shady Maple for my birthday every year. My grandfather, who has now passed away, loved it there. For each special occasion, my grandfather and grandmother would pick us up after school. We would do our homework in the car while going to Shady Maple. When we got there, we would all stuff ourselves and make sure we had room for egg custard for dessert. Now, since my grandfather has passed away, I treasure these memories and think of him every time I visit for the food and gift shop!
