Hong Kong!

Oddly enough…me, the one who does not like to travel, will be leaving on Sunday for a trip to Hong Kong and then onto Macau which is across the water by ferry from Hong Kong. This is a business trip for my husband who goes over there all the time and the first time for me to leave out of the good ole USA (except for Mexico a couple of times). I am a bit apprehensive about the long long plane flight to say the least. Leaving our home to DFW airport: 45 minutes, sit in airport for 2 hours, board plane at DFW to LAX 3 1/2 hours, then we sit for another 2 hours in LAX, Board another plane to Hong Kong…14 or 16 hours (I can’t remember)!!!!, then another hour or so to our hotel. Holy Cow…I think that puts us close to 24 hours of travel time! I plan to blog while I am away and I am on a quest to find cool and unique things to share with all of you. Any advice or tips please leave your comments. It will be an adventure for me that is for sure but I will be back for Memorial Day and plan to enjoy a fun BBQ and a kickball tournament with some friends!

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!
