Just a nice dinner outside tonight

I grilled up some fresh tuna and made some pineapple salsa to go on top…oh man it was good!
I microwaved some yams and asparagus and then threw them on the grill just until they had a little charring on the outside.
I found these placemats at Ikea recently …they look great and are easy to clean up especially after my grandkiddies eat their dinner 🙂
Don’t look too closely at my flowers on the table..they are about done and wimpy looking but they added a little bit of color to the table.
Here is a picture of some of the glorious flowers my husband recently planted in our yard.
I am so grateful for him and all he does to make our yard look so nice.
Here are the little blue voitive candle holders that I talked about the other day…
We hang them from our patio umbrella to add a little sparkle.
More of the gorgeous flowers in the yard.
I love all the mulitple colors of flowers…I can’t get enough of them!

Hope you all enjoyed your evening!I am linking to Between Naps on the Porch

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!
