good morning my fellow little pickle peeps how are you today we hope very well uh this is randall and diane bro he’s randall i’m diane usually yes she’s president arizona lady of prescott arizona we sell real estate but we’re not here to talk about real estate today and today we’re so excited actually this was a tip sent to us from someone who is a regular follower and watcher of our wine dance and so we want to give a shout out to richard ardis um thank you sir thank you he gave us a brilliant idea actually a couple of a couple of football he’s like you should we’re gonna do one today and we’re gonna we’re gonna do another one some other time and we thought wow richard thanks for reaching out to us and telling us you know and he’s so right about this little tip that we want to talk about uh we want to talk about uh one of the bookstores here in prescott yeah it is a very very special bookstore it really is really really cool in fact i was just there this weekend with a friend of mine who is an english major shout out to bee yeah and a librarian and a librarian yeah so she’s super into that and so i said let’s go check it out she’s like yeah i would love to so as soon as we walked in she was like i am so impressed that your little town of prescott has such a progressive uh super cool uh up-to-date uh up to current events yeah uh bookstore as peregrine books on cortez it’s uh yeah that’s quartet yeah it’s amazing if you go in it’s beautifully set up it’s uh honestly you could almost feel like you’re in a bookstore in new york city it’s that cool but the thing that really sets it apart i mean they have a lot of people besides the name i’m not sure i think you need to back up on that yeah i’ll have to look up what a peregrine is it’s cool it’s a bird they have the latest and greatest they have a kid’s hour they have a podium in the back and that’s what my friend was most impressed about was that uh they will have current authors who come and speak and read from their works they’ve got a cute little podium back there and a seating area um it’s really really pretty cool but the coolest thing is the curating and you know that’s kind of hard to find in bookstores i mean you have go in they have lots of books oh it has lots of books but as soon as you start looking at what’s on the shelf particularly in the kind of the entry area uh their uh their staff goes through and they just pull the most fascinating books they all line up i mean you can lose yourself for three hours just right inside the door because it’s just one after the other it’s like that is really fast so they will carry the most pedestrian and the and you know the best sellers but they also have a wide variety for all those intellectuals i mean a wide variety of topics that they cover and they have it all categorized neatly on the shelves and it’s just a beautiful book shop as well yeah you kind of forget you know because i’m i’m a technology person i was an early adapter for uh adopter for kindle and all that stuff and i get that stuff it’s that’s kind of cool and audible i like to listen to vlogs but you know slowly but surely over the years traditional bookstores have been kind of dying out libraries have kind of been changing [Music] and you just forget how nice a good book story is like to go into a bookstore that’s really well done and just the smell of the books that feel that new spell book it’s just you know it just brings you back every time you go there it’s lovely it’s a great experience and for a town this size to be able to support a local bookstore like this yes it just speaks to this is not your chain bookstore yeah it’s not a change this is a very unique experience yeah so for all you eggheads out there yeah richard talks about egg heads and you know i think that’s a really good point press gets a pretty smart town it’s a very smart time uh people here are educated they are cosmopolitan uh this isn’t some podum town you’re going to go and you know it’s not a little wild wild west yeah and every now and then they’ll have movies mostly you know jaws and gone with the wind yeah they’ve got some good yeah yeah this is a very progressive very savvy town intellectual intellectual town yeah peregrines yeah yeah so the egg the egghead thing that uh richard point i think is really appropriate i think a town is smarter than your average town correct so richard we want to cheers to you uh that is a great tip and i don’t know why i didn’t think of it before because i absolutely love paragraphs i love it we go there all the time so anyway if you’re here in town or you move here make sure to check it out it’s lovely you can sit and while away your saturday with a cup of coffee and just sit and read some books and like it was in the olden days like it was no amazon here no amazon here you can actually put your hands on a book and actually read it’s really cool so we just thought we’d share that tip and we thank

Prescott Hats

When you get close to the sun or out in the cold, sometimes the most important thing is what's up top.  In this episode, we discuss Prescott's affinity toward hats and demonstrate how they work for some but not so much for others.

Video Transcript

well howdy howdy pardon hi hi hi hi this is dianna randall bro cheers she’s pickle lady we’re in prescott arizona that’s right and we’re here to talk to you about something i never thought i’d be doing um but it’s imperative if you move and live in prescott because we are a mile high we’re about fifty four hundred feet yeah we’re about the same elevator same elevation as denver yeah we’re closer to the sun closer to the site not used to that i come from the deep south where we’re actually below sea level um so when i moved here i was like gee whiz i get sunburned so fast like within 30 minutes it’s a thing well hello you’re close to the sun less less atmosphere did you know there are areas on the earth that are so far below sea level that you cannot get sunburned oh like the dead sea is one of those i would say well i would love that so when we moved to the opposite way we’re the opposite we’re nice and high closer to god closer to the sky to the sun and uh i didn’t realize until after i was here for a little while i’m like gee all these people are such nerds they’re all in hats they all look ridiculous i am not doing that um i feel stupid however after a couple of sunburns i was like i see the wisdom i understand so we would go walking with the dogs and she where did you buy these homes these panama jack but they’re uv protected they give you protection uh they cover the back of your neck there’s all these things you learn you gotta have coverage on the back of your neck the top of your little ears because if not you get skin damage and skin cancer yeah so when we take ourselves because yeah we were hats to give us some protection this was her first shot i didn’t know she was doing this she’s always after me about sun protection and sunscreen and all that stuff well uh she went out and she bought these hats she came home and i’m like oh my god i hate that hat she makes me wear them all the time i’ll tell them see you have this little strap so that when the wind won’t blow off your hat it’s a very practical this is a walking hat yeah this is what we call our walking hat exercise hat when we’re out and about in the sunshine and trying to get some good walking in we put this hat on it gives you all overall protection the problem i have is i just always look like an idiot wearing a hat yes she looks great she doesn’t have it i don’t know you have a terrible hat i will say all right so that’s awesome so i yeah so i i went out yes and i okay yeah i tried to spend a little more money get something a little nicer so i got this wait hold on if i i’m not marginally look a little better i don’t know so you look like it you look like this is sanctuary south of france look you look like uh princess uh kelly princess kelly who’s the one who died in her her uh convertible driving around that’s grace princess grace grace grace kelly grace keller is kel get your people straight but anyway this is my central pace it’s just our last name yeah i know you got her name that’s not it’s if her name’s grace kelly you got her penalty princess kelly well that’s her last name okay well she knows my princess grace grace keller but anyway this one i love it’s got a little bow in the back yeah this the one we lost and replaced this is the one i lost and replaced i was very lucky so i wear it with my big shades so i kind of have a european flare yeah i look like i’m clearing the buyers yes you do yes all right so this is my other summer hat which i like too this is just kind of a little short a little little boater a little boater hat isn’t i love it it’s a little short a little sassy there’s a great uh hat store right on whiskey road yes we think it’s called all about hats i think it’s called all about house it’s right right near the corner right by the bistro we took our kids there that our daughter and her boyfriend and everything they put on their heads looked great it did i must have found it we have the best time just just giggling at different hats at fascinators they have caps they have this is my multicolored look so it matches everything so yeah i’m gonna have to try again it’s still not working for me it isn’t where’s your let’s put it on our winter hat yeah so oh so that’s the other thing yeah besides you need to have the windscreen yes you also as you know you lose all your body heat through your head some people have less hair than others so you really lose it faster yeah if if you wear a hat you can be naked in the snow and you won’t even feel it look at this yeah i have this cute little this is my felt bowler boulder hat isn’t it cute this is the best i can do this is we call this my governor hat your governor got that here comes the governor you need some coal so he puts his governor hat on and he has to go shovel some snow over out in the chilly willy weather now when i first moved here was more of a thing because coming from louisiana texas i used to buzz my hair used to keep my hair really really short to try to stay cool and i realized that i don’t have to do that anymore so now i have more normal normal hair a little bit longer and it keeps my head uh warm unlike unlike a lot of my friends you know they don’t really have a whole lot of hair so they all have to wear hats but it’s kind of odd he’s holding on he’s holding options he’s got some yeah still there oh when i’m not wearing a hat and you know and i move my hit the steam just off my head because it’s holding so much heat so that is something we kind of just just for fun we just thought we’d have put on our hats when you move here you will you too will embrace the hat movement even if you never i never wore a hat in my entire life until i moved to prescott so i just saw a video on uh youtube it was about how men never wear hats anymore and one of the big reasons i never really put two and two together but one of the big reasons is automobiles as you’re not in the weather as much and also when you’re in you only a lot of a lot of cars don’t have enough clearance for you’re right that’s hot so so you would knock your hat knock your hat off it’s inconvenient but it’s very convenient here in preston yeah and uh we love that little hat shop right on the square i think it’s called all about hats right did we talk about that it’s a cool shop it’s right next to our donor restaurant it’s right next to the st michael’s uh bistro a couple of doors down if you go in the door and you don’t see a lot of hats you’re in the wrong place you’ll know it you’ll know and if you’re there it’s right there on the website something to keep under your hat when you come here be prepared you too will become a hat aficionado and you’ll be wearing those hats just like we do and you’ll embrace it and you’ll get over

pickles happy to do that i give them to all my friends family yeah folk out there but anyway hit or announce our how many years we’ve been married it’s unbelievable 35 years 35 years 35 years in june yeah a couple of weeks ago we keep saying it because it’s shocking i know you’re gonna wrap your mind around the number that big so we’re very lucky right thanks to all the people at our wedding who took bets on how long it will last i don’t know if any of you are still in the pot you lost i’m thinking all of you need to pay us yeah you should pay us you should pay us yeah because we made it so number 35 35 is a special number for me i don’t know so much for you it’s a special that’s how much you make i was number 35 on my high school football team my nickname was bromine turns out the number 35 on the periodical chart of the the periodical chart of elements number 35 is bromine and as you know our last name is bro last name is bro i had 35 stitches on my face when i was 5 years old 35 followed him a lot yeah 35 we have my parents [Music] 35th anniversary is a lucky number for you lucky number so you know usually we like to joke and say we take it day by day but so far so good we’ve made it this far so we decided to double down and invest yes and a beautiful beautiful work of art uh it’s it’s fits us we’ve been meaning to collect more arizona stuff as you know we’re both from new orleans so we’ve gotta still have a lot of new orleans stuff we have some houston stuff so i’m gonna start collecting some arizona stuff so we did let’s get with the program let’s embrace the area that we’re in and where we’re living so we decided to go to a local gallery here in wrestle gallery gallery right on whiskey row correct and we thought you know what i think i mentioned this before prescott actually has a huge art scene oh yeah huge art scene lots of galleries um you can find all kinds of beautiful pieces and sculptures and whatnot yeah but we decided let’s get a beautiful beautiful picture for our 35th a beautiful work of art and um in a while yeah so the the artist’s name is theresa rose theresa rose she’s sometimes go by tree tree rose which was a nickname that her dad gave her this is such a cute story they tell it to you every time you go to the couch i know but we love it it works it worked all night yeah absolutely so we’ve been eyeing her stuff for a while a long time beautiful high resolution photography uh she doesn’t photoshop the life out of it you know she waits until just the right light and then she captures it she captures the majesty that prescott has to offer yeah so she’ll go out sometimes at four o’clock in the morning if she does a night shoot so you can see the sky just lit up with stars it’s unbelievable it is unbelievable it almost looks fake yeah it almost looks like but it’s not the beautiful thing is that is the nature that surrounds us here in where we live yeah where we actually live yeah you know real uh country cowboy western folks so a lot of the arizona art uh you know that captures all of that horses and cowboys and lovely little circles and some people do we don’t uh so we wanted to get a picture that that talked about arizona with just nature just just the natural form yeah wrong and she does and so it’s just gorgeous as everyone knows i love the rocks i love love i love the rocks so you’ll see yeah we captured sedona yeah the picture that she got is just all the beautiful rocks of sedona which is my absolute favorite and the beautiful skies there’s nothing like a sunrise or a sunset here in arizona uh the skies are filled with lavenders pinks and purples it’s gorgeous yeah and she captures it just as a wonderful artist gets out there and captures it at its finest so we are very proud owners of this beautiful piece of pork right behind us and it’s uh it’s on metal uh yes it’s done on metal so it’s pretty much i mean i guess you could destroy it if you really tried but i mean it’s not we don’t delicate like a lot of art is you know it’s robust and it does come all of her work comes in different sizes yes we we just we got the big cup we got the biggest because we’ve got a big giant wall we have a big giant wall and it fits perfectly and so when i have a bad day and i’m upset about whatever’s going on i just sit and look at that sky view and and the the rocks of sedona and i feel somewhat namaste now if you’ve got the wall you just you know you got the wall space you’ve got the wall space got to go check it out you’re only married 35 years once yes and uh we just decided to go for broke a little trouble hanging it had some issues hanging it little marks on the wall we got cleaned up and so now it just looks beautiful it was a little scary yeah uh the people had to hang up you know how you know just stand on a ladder i was like i don’t want to watch it but i want to watch the wall is right beside the the stairs going down that road it was tricky getting a ladder to yeah but we got yeah but here’s the thing if you get it yeah we knew better than there was no way we could do it uh we might be divorced before we even hit a pudgy dead husband yeah or divorced you know but anyway we’re divorced that’s true yeah arguing everybody make it at 36. that’s correct and i know it is a day by day i get it up it should say it’s crackhead it’s crooked so yeah we knew we need to get professionals so we just wanted to share that with you if you come here there are amazing galleries there are amazing art western art photography as we’re talking about of all the nature here it’s very very unique yeah and we are very proud to be an owner of tree rose from ian some work for me and russell gallagher a lot of other really great artists oh beautiful things ian

hello my fellow pickle peeps this is diana randall bro here in my lovely town of prescott uh we are so excited to share with you some of uh some new places that have opened up here in prescott after coven has lifted uh we are psyched oh yeah really psyched it’s really lifted the only bad thing is everything’s reopened everybody’s at the restaurant now we have a little weight and i’m a little yeah other than that a lot of people who should be serving me my food are home still collecting checks it’s kind of hard the restaurants are struggling to get staff and but everybody’s come out but everybody’s going out of out of their uh isolation and they’re like we’re ready to socialize we can get out now and be safe yeah so uh other than you know having a little weight at some of our favorite restaurants we are super excited that some new places have opened yeah and some old places we’re still waiting yes so uh the barley hound has won they’ve done renovations yeah i know they’re going to open just like they’re doing major renovations a lot of our places are like you know what we’re going to use this time to revamp and uh redecorate re do some renovations and so some of them but they’re coming back they’re just in the middle of yeah once they open that’s it i mean i know they’re going to be flat out so i guess they know that so one place that randall while he was driving by you know we take our dog for a ride at least twice a day and we go around the square she loves to go for a ride that’s her thing so as we’re driving brandon’s like oh i see something and i’m like what and he’s like donors i’m like that means absolutely nothing to me but it means a lot to him means a lot to me yeah so this is this is an offshoot of the st michael’s bistro one of our favorite restaurants right on the corner of whiskey row and they have been shut down for kovitz i mean for over a year now and they are renovating they will open much like barley hound they’re common say michael’s bistro’s coming back so give me something like a little taste they opened up this little a little sliver on the side of the hotel and it’s you have to look twice to understand that’s actually part of the bistro yeah but it’s their kitchen so they’re just serving right out the window and they brought this sandwich called a dirner like he says i say derner but it was a sandwich way back in the day uh a friend of some high school friends of mine uh joined together in germany for a little trip and we were in berlin and that’s when i first met the durner so at that time there were a whole bunch of turkish people immigrants or something yeah and they brought their cuisine with them and one of them was this sandwich so it’s a dirner turner a donor amazing yeah it’s a they make it with a rotisserie that’s vertical and they shave it off and they put it in this delicious sort of pita like bread but softer yeah just very spicy season beautifully and all kinds of extras so as we were driving by he’s like i see dirners donors whatever you want to call it i have no idea what that means that means nothing to you well it means a lot to me yeah it’s like i said this is like 15 years ago i have never seen 15 years ago 15 years ago i first when i was in germany it’s been longer than that i think so i’m about 15. i was in like early 40s that’s all right all right if you say okay it was first high school reunion but anyway uh that was not my high school room so the trip to germany yes it was for your 25th uh yeah 25th yeah there you go yeah i think you can graduate a little bit longer i don’t know have you no i don’t know we’ll do the math but anyway so that’s when he went and that’s when he had these sandwiches and all throughout germany yeah in some places like new york city or very big metropolitan areas they probably have i’m sure uh but i haven’t seen one yeah european cuisine right so i immediately bought like six of them oh yes oh my god oh that’s so good he felt compelled to share this with everyone out there when you come here you need to have a dinner whatever you want to call it and also know that saint michael’s bistro which is right next door will be reopening and they’re bringing back my favorite thing on the menu which is the uh uh reuben burger reuben burger corned beef reuben burger yeah it is a monstrosity it is really really big every time i ordered one the whole restaurant would go silent as i was being certain you would finish the whole thing here’s the thing do you notice we talk a lot about food a lot of us we’re foodies i think you can tell by our we’re more eaties yeah we’re more eating we are eating yeah so hey we enjoy everything yeah we love our little town we love all that our little town has to offer amazing all kinds of stuff i mean they even have turner’s donors whatever you want to call them d-o-n-e-r-s with the two dots over here what does that mean walnuts what is it walnuts i think it makes a diphthong of the vowel dorn i mean it’s like i don’t know what that is it kind of makes one vowel to about two i don’t care it’s good that’s all i know so if you’re headed here to town we’ll tell you where to go to get a dirner or a donor um yeah at this point they are uh they don’t have full service so i think it was like thursday friday saturday right in the afternoon hopefully it will catch on
