We want to thank you for your support

We want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers on our brother’s behalf. He came home from the hospital yesterday and seems to be doing well. He will start receiving Chemo treatments after he heals up from this surgery. He will have to wear the bag for six months instead of three. My sister and I just flew out here today and started working on preparing for the “big” garage sale on saturday. We spent the day cleaning and pulling out all kinds of things for the garage sale………… we are all exhausted. Hopefuly it will be a great success and put some cash in their pockets immediately.

Truly we have been overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity of so many friends and family…thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Today……Tim received two checks from some long a go friends and some people he had never met and he became very emotional and humbled because of their kindnes and generosity.

We will keep you all posted on the garage sale and the continued progress of our brother.

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!

So sorry to hear about your brother! Prayers and thoughts are with you all as you take care of him and his family.

I came over from your sisters blog. I hadn't heard from her in a week and was wondering how she was.

Hugs!
