Yesterday, Dennis and I went to the Black Swamp Arts Festival in beautiful downtown Bowling Green. We had never been. We snagged a ride on a shuttle, a.k.a. school bus from the parking lot of the Meijer Store. Downtown BG had representatives from many of the arts from ceramics to painting to glass blowing to rope creations to sewn arts to musical arts. The musical arts came in the form of an awesome jazz band, a pleasant stringed trio, and a rather bizarre looking guy with long hair, a soul patch, wearing a purple, flowing outfit I could only (up till now) picture a blue haired, rich, old woman wearing. He was a brilliantly talented Classical guitarist. He was situated in the middle of the main street and was absolutely wonderful. He just LOOKED a bit strange. Maybe when you are so talented, you can look however you want! We walked through greasy, wonderful smelling smoke coming from the various food vendors but decided instead to eat at the Easy Street Cafe. We've eaten there before and the food is good, the prices reasonable, and the atmosphere charming. The ceilings are tin and there are original ceiling fans which are run on a pully system. Too cool! (as in awesome, not cold) Dennis had the Ruben, and I had the veg wrap. Very good. His came with raw veg sticks and mine with chunks of fresh fruit. Yum. After a bit of walking around, we got ice cream from another downtown shop. Double chocolate. We shared. Behind us was a wee dog whose owner couldn't stop talking about him and got his own vanilla ice cream. Huh... OK...Ben came over for dinner. We had sausage patties cooked on the grill. We explored the Troll Cave under our house and did a bit of clearing. Ben left with some of his stuff. Dennis and I spent the remainder of the evening reading novels. Relaxing, nice day.
