After a delightful morning with my granddaughter and my older grandson, I went to Providence to hang out with my younger grandson and Suzanne and a good friend.
I caught up with them at the park, where the farmers market was winding down and a free summer concert was revving up: the annual Summit Music Festival. (Check it out here.)
The four of us liked a blues group called the Selwyn Birchwood Band (pictured) and another band called Smith and Weeden. The ice cream eater below had reservations about a third performance. Everyone’s a critic.
We spent a chunk of time going “higher, higher” on the swing in the playground and watching a multi-ethnic group of small boys kick a soccer ball. (How brave it is to go up to boys you don’t know and ask to play!) We skipped the face painting, which was gorgeous but, to a 2-year-old, kind of pointless. We watched kids and grownups painting a mural wall.

You get down here, way more often than I get to Boston. !
Give a heads up sometime; we’ll meet you at the park.

OK, Tracy Lee. I may be down more in the winter, though, in which case someplace near the park like Seven Stars or the vegan place (I forget the name)?

I know them both –Seven Stars on Hope; and the Vegan Place is exactly where my doctor’s office is. Wildflour Vegan Bakery, also on Hope.
This is going to happen, I believe it. Sometime in the next 6-9 months! 🙂

Convenient! Suzanne also recommends her friend’s cool new coffee place on Wickedon called the Shop. We’ll figure something out!

I really liked the music of the bluesgroup Selwyn Birchwod. I hope I could listen to them live and also get a chance to dance

I think they are from Florida. They said they would be playing at the Regatta Bar in Cambridge (MA) next, and that’s a major venue. Selwyn thanked us all for supporting live music, saying that if people support something, it can disappear.
