I can’t say Rusty is our oldest friend–that’s not correct, but he is the friend that Kevin and I have shared for the longest amount of time. We met Rusty exactly five days after getting married when we arrived with him for both of our first posts overseas in El Salvador. That means Rusty hasContinue reading Panoramas and Cabin Candids with Rusty and Ted
I just spent a fabulous weekend with my sisters! And style wise, I think I have finally figured something out: while I will always try to be urban chic like my sister Julie (she’s in the middle) and flowy feminine like my sister Mary (she’s on the right), it’s time I just start accepting thatContinue reading Charlie’s Angels and Some Cabin Candids
The Love Shack Aside from The Family Room, there are two other bedrooms that flank the middle room. On the right there’s a room that has always been called The Love Shack. If I remember correctly, I think the Coynes were the first couple to stay in there. It’s always been a cozy little roomContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb Cabin: The Love Shack and Bunk Room
The porch is the heart of our cabin. It’s the location that comes to mind when I think about our cabin. Most of our hanging out occurs on the porch. When I’m not here the porch is what I day dream about, and while I am here it’s where I actually do dream–literally. Kevin andContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb Cabin: The Porch
Last week I started telling a bit about the history of our cabin on Spirit Lake, Idaho. While we’re out here enjoying the beauty of this magical spot for our family, I would like to try to capture some of the special spots within the cabin that carry so many of our memories. As mentionedContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb Cabin: The Family Room
When you pull up to our cabin, you can recognize ours as the second cabin–the one with the red roof. Our cabin is part of a housing development from the 1920s. The elite of Spokane used to use this area for their outings, hence the name, Tessemini Outing Club. I refer so much online andContinue reading Kremb de la Kremb Cabin: A History
It’s almost feeling like the weather might start shifting in Hong Kong. Today there was a bit of a breeze all day long, and the humidity is definitely less. We still have some time before it gets cold here, but I always love the shift that begins to happen in October. These pictures were actuallyContinue reading Almost Fall
There was a week during the summer when Gigi went to camp with the Collins’ cousins; meanwhile the Krembs’ cousins from Seattle came over for a visit to the cabin. The boys spent repetitive hours jumping over and over again. They had such fun! Meanwhile the folks cleared the dock and relaxed beachside. At theContinue reading Cabin Candids: Cousins and Camp
The moment we turn left off of Highway 41 on to Main Street, Spirit Lake, we all have a gush of excitement that gives us a butterfly rush! We’re almost there! As we pass through the block of Main Street the building facades are all old town; there are about a dozen businesses (half ofContinue reading Main Street, Spirit Lake
Last February I started a Date Night series on Kremb de la Kremb (you can read February, March, May, and June’s dates). This series really helps to get Kevin and me on a date! The kids are old enough now that we can start going on dates again–especially as they become socially busy too! FamilyContinue reading Family Date Night: 4th and Main Pizza
Waking up out at Spirit Lake is just bliss! Every morning that the sun shines we see these sparkly diamonds glistening on the lake. Because Kevin and I sleep out on the porch, we are awoken by this view with accompanied birds every morning. Sometimes I like to take my coffee down to the dockContinue reading Coffee with Diamonds and on the Lake
Our cabin out at Spirit Lake is actually a part of a housing development that started in the 1920s. The Tesemini Outing Club started out as a club for the Spokane elite; the families would make outings out this beautiful setting on Spirit Lake. I can only imagine the fashions that were involved for eachContinue reading The Outing Club
