Fishers Renaissance Faire

Once Upon a time, during a Chilly cold morning, Nancy & JunkYard Gypsy put on their snugly warm sweatshirts & boots & drove 3 hours to Fishers, IN. to attend the Fishers Renaissance Faire.  It was a nice relaxing drive, down the back roads of Hwy 31 looking at beautiful fall foliage.  After some much needed coffee, chocolate milk & a doughnut, we found ourselves provided us with the stamina to deal with "Matilda", Nancy's new GPS system in her brand new (like less than a week old) Jeep Laredo.  Matilda failed & jammed.  However the "Navigator Gypsy"  in me, managed to maneuver us to the proper location just in time to catch  the Queen & the Green Leaf Man celebrating the only bit of sun that we saw that day. 
We fell in love with his boots.

On the drive home I thought for sure we were headed in the right direction, till we saw the sign for Mexico.  When the nicest police officer pulled us over speeding in Atlanta I knew we were lost.  I never knew there was a Mexico or an Atlanta Indiana, but we found them.  The officer walked over smiling!  When was the last time a police officer approached you all pleasant & happy?  For me it's been, uh? Never!  I asked if I could take his picture, but he said that probably wouldn't be a good idea.  I even explained to him that car's computer said the speed limit here was 45.  He said he understood but he still had to issue us a warning.  Then we found out he was from New Mexico & asked his How & Why he came this Podunk part of Indiana!  He told us I don't remember ~ but it was the best time I ever had getting pulled over by the police!

This time of time of year in northwest Indiana can be kind of gloomy & cold.  We’re usually hoping for a bit more spring like weathe...
