This is a photo of the traditional coconut cream pie that we all enjoyed on Thanksgiving Day.
Dinner was at the Colonial Inn near Ligonier, Pennsylvania.
I have found (so far) that restaurants in Pennsylvania can be counted on to have coconut cream pie on the menu. Alas, this is not so closer to home. But I will keep looking.
BUT – Look here on BuzzFeed to find out about your favorite pie is saying about you.
I know, the title of this blog is Gunsmoke and KNITTING and I have not posted much on either subject lately.
This one, however, is about knitting. I recently traveled to Pittsburgh to see my brother and other things. My brother lives in Ligonier, PA. Ligonier is really a charming town with a lot of little shops – including Bo Peep Fine Yarns. I had to stop there.
So this is the sock yarn I purchased there:
And I bought this yarn because it was pretty and sparkly. I don’t know what I am going to do with it, but would appreciate any suggestions:
More yarn shop – They are winding my sock yarn into a ball here.
This is a yarn shop with a fireplace –
We wound up the afternoon with some excellent coconut cream pie:

Visiting the Strip District in Pittsburgh makes for a pleasant day trip from my abode. These photos are from a recent trip.
We started at Wholey’s. There we found fish, meat, produce, condiments and more. I loved the display of jam, jelly and honey in lovely glassware and I had to buy some. The good luck brass pig was in the doorway on the way out (too bad he is out of focus.)
Traveled on to Wholey’s Kitchen store . . .
Then to Fortune’s coffee roasters.
Across the street is Pennsylvania Macaroni (and cheese, and bakery) . . .
We enjoyed the street scenes . . .
Then wandered over to Station Square and caught a ride on the Monongahela Incline . . .
Here is a sign we saw on the way out . . .
Firearms, fibers, any news or behaviors that make me say, "hmm, let me take another look at this."
I still miss my man, but my aim is getting better.
