Beautiful Area We Live In

It has been one year now since we moved from Texas back to Utah and I just love the area where we live! I took our dog on a walk around the lake tonight and it was so perfect outside…I took a bunch of pictures with my phone so they are not the best quality but I thought I would share them with you anyways.

Looking at the lake in one direction …..has a view of the mountains
This is a view of one of the bridges that goes over the lake all lit up.
I had to show you this picture with the moon in the sky.
As the evening progressed the reflection of the moon in the water looked like diamonds sparkling in the water….I LOVE this!!
I could have stayed out there all night long looking at this view!
You know that movie called Dan in Real Life and they all stay at their family lake house? ….Ever since that movie I just wanted to live by a lake and now I do.
I feel so so very blessed to live in a beautiful neighborhood surrounded by many great neighbors.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Hugs, Karin 🙂

 

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!
