It\u2019s something my family and I have felt since the first day we drove into town. One of my favorite shop experiences happened on a warm Saturday afternoon in the spring. Our shop was abuzz with customers. There were five girls from a visiting lacrosse team at the bar, a table full of university students, a group of long time residents, and another group of families with small children. There was laughter and smiles and stories being shared, and of course lots of ice cream. I still remember the warmth of the pride I felt for helping to create such a moment. Someone once wrote a review of the shop and said we are the \u2018Cheers\u2019 of Plymouth, a place where \u2018everyone knows your name.\u2019 That\u2019s the kind of shop we want to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maryann, ice cream shop owner, Plymouth, NH<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10256 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-61-480x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-61-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-61-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-61-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-61-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-61-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-61.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10255 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-50-480x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-50-480x720.jpg 480w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-50-80x120.jpg 80w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-50-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-50-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-50-67x100.jpg 67w, https:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Lifes-Work-Ice-Cream-Shop-Owner-50.jpg 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can see Parts I-XXI here:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/lifes-work\/\">http:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/lifes-work\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Plymouth is a very special place.
