We hope that you had as great a Thanksgiving holiday as we did -- visiting family and friends, eating, talking, eating, taking lots of pictures, eating, etc. Our friends are in the Ann Arbor area, so we actually closed for a couple of days to drive out. Friends a and family are the greatest thing to have, so make sure that you all stay connected!
The holiday season is in full swing now, and Saugatuck is decorated up with lights all over the place, up and down Butler St, many side streets, in the parks, all over businesses and private homes, and Serendipity too! We have lights and greens up outside all our buildings, and just yesterday we put up our tree! Today we are decorating it with all our ornaments, some antique, some recent, but all have a special significance to us. We hope that you enjoy it if you come out and visit.
If you come out and visit us please ask us about our scones! They are a great addition to our yummy breakfast!
We are waiting for the snow, and we may very well get our first measurable amount this coming weekend!

Now it is Really Spring!
Hi everyone!
It is officially Springtime, for real! It sure takes a while to get here, even when you think it is, Nature sometimes plays tricks and the temps fall for a while. The flowers are really blooming now. Our first daffodils just opened today in all their bright yellow glory! We have tulip greens that are several inches tall, which reminded us about the Tulip Festival in Holland that is coming up in the first week of May. That should be spectacular! We have got to go to Holland on a free day and check it out.
We are just waiting for all the ice cream shops to open here in Saugatuck--right now Kilwins is open, but Charlies Around the Corner is not yet open. More shops are open too. Saugatuck is waking up from a long, but not too cold winter. Come visit us here in Serendipity!

Almost Spring!
Hi everyone!
We have been taking lots of long walks around town recently, and it seems like spring is just around the corner. The last snows have come and then melted very quickly during the day. Although everything ices up at night, the next day it melts again! The Kalamazoo River is pretty much thawed out now, and geese have been heard honking above, traveling back into the area. We might get tricked again by the fickle weather, but we are looking optimistically ahead. Just today we saw daffodil and crocus shoots poking up out of the ground out of our garden. All these signs and the longer daylight hours is a sure sign that we are on the upswing. Even the black squirrels are running around again!
There are some events coming up soon in Saugatuck. The Saint Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday March 13, the Easter parade in Douglas on April 1, and the Town Crier 5 and 10 K race on April 10. Now we are really into spring!

Happy New Year!
Hi everyone!
We wish you all a happy new year! We have lots of snow here in Saugatuck now--you can check out our Facebook site and see some pictures. We took a trip to Saugatuck Dunes State Park today to see how the snow conditions for cross-country skiing are. The snow is great! If you are the traditional wax skier the snow is somewhere in the blue-green wax area, about 25-35 degrees. Just perfect! If you are a no-wax skier it doesn't much matter, unless it is so warm that the snow is wet.
We have heard from the guys at Landsharks in town that even better cross-country trails are to be found at Allegan State Forest, only 15 miles away from Saugatuck.
We are known for our great breakfasts here at Serendipity, and now we will have a chance to spread our recipes around! In the next few weeks a number of the B & B's around town will be gathering recipes together to make a great cookbook! We have a few special recipes picked out that are regulars here at Serendipity and some new ones also. We will keep you posted as to when that cookbook will be available.
By the way, both Valentines Day and Winterfest are happening here in Saugatuck on the weekend of February 13 and 14, a perfect time to experience some of our traditional and new breakfast recipes! It's also a great time to brush some of the winter blahs away.
