This is a photo from one of my neighbors yard…the wind was wild early this morning and some are saying we had a touch down of a tornado! The sirens went off at 3 AM to alert us of the possibility that a tornado was coming our way! My daughter and I went into the closet underneath the stairs with our dog and waited for something to happen. In the little closet we keep water, food, flashlights and a radio. We were listening to the radio broadcasters tell us how much longer we were under the watch and how hard the winds were blowing…up to 100 miles an hour and rain pouring on us 5 to 7 inches! I was literally shaking like a leaf waiting for the tornado to rip through our home! We were very blessed to not have sustained any damage to our property but we feel bad for those in our neighborhoods and surrounding areas. Here are a few more pics… Tramploline in neighbors pool!
Roof Shingles blown off
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
