A DATE TO PENROD

Cindy & I had a 'date' day today...driving to Indianapolis to attend the Penrod Art Fair. When we attended last year, for the first time, the weather was ideal, we saw some very interesting art, heard some good music and had some good food.

It was such a good time, we penciled it on the calendar to go again this year.

One of the artists commented...while we were there today...that it hasn't rained for 29 days in a row...and it decided to rain today!

About 30 minutes after we got there...it began to drizzle...then rain...then pour. We walked from artist tent to artist tent...looking at their wares and trying to stay out of the rain. When is slowed to a mist...we walked to the bus pickup to take us back to our car...and it stopped completely. So we went back in and spent the rest of our time enjoying some new exhibits...and those we passed quickly when we were trying to stay out of the rain.

We had some good sandwiches...listened to Duke Tomatoe...a local favorite band...and bought a few more art goodies to take home.

We think after our retirement...we might have to begin a little artsy-fartsy craft that we can have fun with...and make a little money on the side too.

It was a good day...rain and all.

    Let me help you with his name...Percy Nightingale. He lost his sight when a semi-truck tire he was mounting on a rim blew up and he was blinded by the air blast. Yes, he was a very nice person. Now...one of the ultimate Vincennes trivia questions....what was the name of his dog?? Mark
