Saturday

Elle has been battling with fever, cough and running nose for the past four days. The coughing, moaning and crying day in and day out really drive us into insanity that it feels like a decade has passed. We were worried and sleep-deprived and be glad that she's on the mend.

I started my early morning off with a stroll at the farmer market while the big and the lil' ones were still in the dreamland. The farmer market is such an eye candy, no to mention the smell of the fresh produce that make you feel so alive and wonderful. It's a delight to walk in an open air market checking out what kind of produce is in season. I treated myself a great cup of joe at my favorite coffee joint in downtown on my way back. I miss the distinct roasted coffee flavor and aroma, the smokiness, and the hippie people work in the cafe.

It's a gorgeous sunshine day, a perfect day to get Elle out of the apartment to get some fresh air and soak up that Vitamin E at the arts and crafts show in Milham Park. It's ironic that I've missed this art fair in all the years I've been in Kalamazoo. I'm surprised it attracted such a big crowd with babies and puppies in tow. White tents scatterred around under big shady trees with plenty of unique arts on display. We had so much fun strolling from one tent to another admiring the creativitiness of these artists.
