August 15, 2019. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Desserts.

Ever since Dave and Irene and Pat and Mal arrived I have offered them the same options for dessert. We could select ice cream and cookies, apple pie, Pecan pie or carrot cake. Each person could select what they wanted. I was interested to see what people selected. Every evening after dinner, we all laughed that the options never changed. But as we ran out of things, our options shrunk. First we ran out of pecan pie. We ran out of it on Monday. The apple pie was gone by Tuesday. And on Wednesday the whole carrot cake was gone, which pleased us all. Our only choice for the next evening was ice cream and cookies. This afternoon, Dave and Irene went in search of dessert and they stopped in at Atlantic Sands, the new place where I bought the pies and the cake. The lady baker had just made a coconut cream pie. In fact it was not finished. So they paid for it and came back in an hour. In the meantime, they ate lunch at Seascape, our favorite place to eat fish and chips, which they ate. One piece remains of the new pie. But it was delicious. We were all pleased they had gone in search of a new dessert. We have eaten about enough of carrot cake.
