T Stands for Lunch On Golden Pond

It was still too early to check into the motel after visiting Claude Rain's grave  so we stopped for lunch at Walter's Basin along 

Little Squam Lake in Holderness, New Hampshire

We had a nice table overlooking the lake, and I had an Arnold Palmer (half lemonade and half iced tea)

Along with a fish sandwich and fries. Besides ketchup there was another sauce to dip sandwich and/or fries.  It was delicious and took us a few minutes to figure out what is was. In Rhode Island, it's popular to have fries with Malt Vinegar. I could taste the vinegar, and then we figured out the other sweeter flavor. After all, where were we? In Maple Syrup country. The combination was fabulous.

Squam Lake/Little Squam Lake became famous because the movie On Golden Pond (1981) starring Katherine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, and Jane Fonda was filmed there. The boat filling station at the end of the dock is where Katherine Hepburn fills up the boat while her curmudgeon husband waits for the teen to fill the tank. She also returns to this spot to get help when her husband and their young guest don't return after a fishing expedition looking for an elusive trout named Walter.

Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda both won Oscars for their performances. Jane Fonda presented her father with his Oscar. He passed away a few months later.

On the way to the hotel I was very excited to see the restaurant Pop's Clam Shack made famous by our T Day Friend, Erika, from Bio Art Gal. The restaurant was closed on Monday and Tuesday so I was hoping to get there before we left for home.
