When I was eight or nine, my mother subscribed to a decorating magazine. It always had a pineapple on the front, which I couldn’t understand. Mom told me that “the pineapple is the symbol of hospitality”. Our first house (391 Adams St., Holliston, MA 01746) had pineapple wallpaper covering the stairs and the second floor, where the bedrooms were.
