A Day of Shopping

We picked Jim and Ellie up this morning around 10:30 and started out for a day of shopping. We figured that we would first stop in Pigeon Forge, then make our way to Gatlinburg, and back to Pigeon Forge by mid afternoon. Ready, set, let's go...


The day started out to be a little on the cloudy side, but promised to end up a beautiful day, which it did.

Our first stop was at the quilt store



where we found lots of quilts


Ellie and I had been talking about new dishes...so we were delighted when we found this outlet store. Ellie found just exactly what she wanted and made her purchase. On the other hand, I found a few possibilities, but just wasn't sure enough to get them today. Maybe later.


If you don't want to drive in the traffic, you can catch the trolley


There are fall decorations everywhere

Leaving Pigeon Forge and heading to Gatlinburg

Once we made our way to Gatlinburg and found a place to park, we decided we needed lunch before tackling the shopping

A few characters we met along the way



Plus a few old crows

This is quite a pair

I think this pumpkin might take the prize



Back in Sevierville


We were real tempted by these fried pies


and what about all these apples

What a way to end another great day in the Smokey Mountains! but before I go...

This is for my friend Joe "Speedy"...just to know...
