The Hubs and I went to a really fun outdoor concert last night for Family Home Evening. It was a group from Philadelphia …..similar to “The four Tops” and they played all the great Mow town hits from the 60’s and early 70’s. There were tons and tons of families there….sitting on lawn chairs or on blankets just enjoying the music. Lots of people went down to the front where the entertainers were performing and danced with their kids…it was really a lot of fun to get out and enjoy the evening.
On of the cutest members of the audience was our “surrogate” grandchild…. Carson! He is just a little nugget of pudge. He loved the music and wanted to run all over the grass area and be right up front where all the action was.
There is just something special about live music that brings people together like nothing else. The last song of the night was a great oldie song “Love Train” …and pretty soon everyone gathered into a train connecting one person to another…it was huge! People of every different race, men, women, children, mentally challenged people, old and young people, people in all different shapes and sizes…. all connected to each other with smiles on every face…..It was magical and beautiful…and I got choked up….and thought to myself….If this could only happen to everyone everywhere…..peace, acceptance, joy and happiness amongst all people. 🙂
Karins KottageWelcome 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!
