I have probably three catch up posts to finish but today's post is about yesterday's clouds. Cloud pictures that exist because we took a ride over to Tombstone to have lunch with Elva and Jerry at Big Nose Kate's. I think most of us who blog or anyone who has read George and Suzie's Blog have heard about this place and enjoyed spending some time there mainly because George always made it sound like a place that would be fun to visit. Tom and I have stopped at least once a year, if not twice, to enjoy a nice lunch and the entertainment. This was Elva and Jerry's first time and what luck, for those of you that have been there, we got the table to the left as you walk in and up a couple of stairs. Good food and even better company and for the first time since we have been going to to Tombstone I realized when we got home I had not taken one picture while we were there. I am going with what Elva said when I texted her about it, we were to busy talking. It was definitely a fun time and the memory will last even without a picture.
It had been raining on and off pretty much since Tuesday evening but we decided to tough it out and go as planned. We did have rain drops on the windshield as we drove over and it was still windy and cold when we stepped out of the Jeep but the rain had stopped. After lunch we parted ways we had some shopping to do in Sierra Vista and Elva wanted to take a ride up to see the Linear Garden at the top of the hill that Nancy, Kissack Adventures, has mentioned in her blog. It is a fun and quirky collection of "stuff" and definitely worth the ride up the hill. Another visit we make every year just to see what has been added. Plus, the views of Tombstone are excellent from up there.
That all being said, what follows is a collection of pictures of today's clouds. Not much more to say about the clouds in my opinion they are beautiful and speak for themselves.
I'm really glad you enjoyed Big Nose Kate's. It was one of our favourite places to eat. Did anyone have the Rueben sandwich?
ReplyDeleteWe did have a good time. No, no one had the Rueben but we all enjoyed/were happy with what we had. I should try that next time; Tom always orders the brisket...lol
DeleteYou even sat at MY TABLE!!!! I love the view from there. It's a fun place to spend an afternoon and the pastrami sandwich is wonderful. The rain hasn't been fun, but the clouds are fabulous. I think they are a little late this season however. I'm happy to see someone take as many pictures of them as I do!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the best table in the place we have sat up on the other side before but you do not get the total view. I have been fascinated by clouds for as long as I can remember. I even remember as a child laying out and watching them float by and picking out shapes. I still do that when I sit out or when we are driving down the road.
DeleteI think all those clouds you photographed are now here today! That Big Nose Kate's diner sure is an icon and a must to visit when in Tombstone. I'd like to visit again some day.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed those clouds as much as I did...😊 Tom and I stop in at Big Nose Kate's at least once a year for lunch. The food is good and we do enjoy the entertainment.
DeleteSounds like an awesome day! Beautiful cloud pics and lunch with Elva and Jerry! Love Tombstone!
ReplyDeleteLunch with Elva and Jerry and all the wonderful clouds, I would have to say you were right it was an awesome day.
DeleteGlad you were able to have an enjoyable visit with Elva and Jerry in Tombstone.
ReplyDeleteYour first picture of the day has a Face in those clouds.
Be Safe and Enjoy the lifestyle.
It's about time.
It was a nice time with Elva and Jerry.
DeleteI had not seen the face in that one, now I do.
You and Kathy stay safe.
It was an ever changing day. The weather couldn't decide what to do. I almost forgot about the Linear Garden. It was on my bucket list so I'm glad you reminded me. The view from the hill was amazing. In spite of the cold it was still a memorable day. I love those cottonwoods. Yesterday we stopped at the San Pedro House. It was closed because of Covid but I enjoyed just standing there and loving those trees. Thanks for a fun day!
ReplyDeleteTotal agreement about the weather being ever changing. It was interesting how the view of the sky changed pretty much in each direction. The cottonwoods are beautiful. We have driven into the San Pedro house, also. I am thinking it must have closed because I have no memory of going in. Still nice to see the trees in that spot.
DeleteSo glad you two made a special day of a day where the weather was not so special. Typical of our weather lately. One minute dark angry clouds and the next puffy white with blue skies peaking through.
ReplyDeleteThe interesting part on Wednesday is that looking one way there were dark angry clouds and then we could turn and see white fluffy clouds with blue sky. Tom and I are glad we all decided to brave the weather and go.
DeleteWow that IS a lot of clouds. I still prefer sunshine though. :D
ReplyDeleteBig Nose Kates, yup, we have enjoyed a couple of meals with the Reuben being a favourite of mine. :)
Are they practicing social distancing? That would be a difficult place to do that!
We were distanced because of the location of the table. Deb said tables had been removed.
DeleteThere definitely was a lot of clouds. I hear what you are saying about the sunshine and I do love blue skies but I find there is just something fascinating about clouds in a storm.
DeleteI am not sure how social distanced everyone was but like Elva mentioned above, I could definitely tell there were less tables. Usually you walk in and there are tables right away not so right now.
We had been to Big Nose Kates before I read about it on George's blog but it always brought fond memories and smile when I would read about their visits there :-)
ReplyDeleteReading about George and Suzie's visit there you knew immediately they had, had a good time. It is nice to be able to read about something that evokes a good memory and a smile.
