Memorial Day

We started our Memorial Day by going on a bike ride around the lake and then we went Kayaking with a few of the neighbor kids and our daughter, her husband and our two little grandkids.
The weather was perfect…warm with a little breeze. The kids loved it!

Afterwards we rode back home and had a BBQ in the backyard.

I made some delicious turkey burgers! I used ground turkey mixed with a little red onion, egg, BBQ sauce, parmesean cheese, bread crumbs and spices. We topped the burgers off with some fresh Mozzarella cheese and turkey bacon…they were so moist and delicious!

My daughter Madeline made this delicious fruit salad! Watermelon cut into triangles that make a star shape. In the middle of the star is all kinds of fruit…canteloupe, grapes, slivered almonds, bananas and cut up watermelon drizzled with a lime honey poppyseed sauce. It is amazing!

Here is one of our little neighbors enjoying a popsicle…is he cute enough or what! Those big brown eyes and curly hair!

The little kiddies all enjoying popsicles….You can see my grandson Calvin standing in the middle with the red shirt on and my granddaughter Ella is on the right in a pink and white striped dress….I love watching all the kiddies having fun together.

It was a wonderful Memorial Day!!I am so grateful for all those men and women who sacrificed so much for all of us to be able to live in Freedom and peace and comfort everyday…I wish I could honor them in some amazing way.

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!
