cash registerAfter an early morning leaving on Wednesday, we had lunch in historic downtown Globe at Kelly’s Broad Street Brewery (brewery part not up and running yet). The antique cash register and the bar fascinated me, which was one of only ten made by the Brunswick Company in 1880. The wood is birds-eye mahogany . bIncredible beauty. There was a gigantic tear-shaped chandelier (once hung in a bank in Italy) hanging from a big skylight. Lunch was ok. Kelly was our server and she said it was ok to take pictures. bar 

This poppy outside a Toyota dealer in Show Low caught my eye when I walked to BJs restaurant for breakfast. Had fun talking to it when I took the picture. poppy  

On the drive from Show Low to Canyon de Chelly we stopped at the visitor center in Holbrook which also had a museum with lots of antiques to look at. Another cash register caught my eye. cash r

I love being way out … the sky is so wide you can fill yourself up, over and over with it. Driving up through the Navajo Nation the land stretched and stretched until it touched the edge of mountains and cliffs far in the distance. The blue-purple of the far off hills iced with sheep-like clouds mesmerized me. Hard to drive when all you want to do is float off and join that herd of clouds. Jim and I had a conversation about how far you can actually see to the horizon … Jim saying about 50 miles, me thinking about 300 miles. I’ll have to ask the kids.

We’ll hike tomorrow and I’ll likely have something to say about it.
