Hi, Dee Dee.  Great post.  Eric and I love the Saugatuck/Douglas area.  I want to know what the Saugatuck rose garden's keepers know that I don't know.  It's always in lush bloom. (not now, of course!)

This is a great Localism post Dee Dee. Saugatuck is one of my favorite Michigan cities to visit especially during the summer and fall season.  A lot of good information here.

Dee Dee, excellent post and some great information. I haven't made it to the new restaurant in the bowling alley yet, but I heard it's very nice.

We need to do that coffee yet, where does that time go?
