mO's
Years before Dave and Abigail came to Christchurch, they were living on Tangier Island. One weekend they cam to visit and we were trying to plan activities to do while they were here for a visit. Fishing was out because Dave fished everyday on Tangier....so we had to think of an activity that they were missing. After much deliberation we decided that the next day we would go to Water Country USA and see a little America. (we are all obsessed with people watching)
Well, when we woke up it was pouring rain. Dave and I looked like the two kids staring out of the window in the story Cat in the Hat. So we changed gears and Dave and I decided to build a bar in the garage. (its not easy to get the two of us to stand still). Over the years I had collected a lot of lumber from various jobs and had an interesting collection to think about using in the construction.
We started at 10 and by 5 we were sitting at the bar which is now mO's. It is named after the Orioles and the fact that I call Mollie; Mo. Over the years people have visited mO's tavern in the garage and have donated items to be used and displayed; big TV, Grateful Dead tape collection, posters, signs, speakers, pictues, t-shirts, hats, stickers, items from my grandfather's bar, furniture, and other voo doo items.
If you have a garage, consider converting it into a living space to add quality of life. Of course, garages are great for storage and can extend the life of your vehicle. BUT..... it can also be a great place to hang out with friends and talk about life. "What is talked about in mO's, stays in mO's".
Today, mO's is a second living space that is a great space to watch baseball, entertain, hang out, and is essential for Oyster fest. Each spring, mO's gets a facelift and a purging for the summer. This year, we really moved things around in order to separate living space from all the things the kids have to ride on. If you have been to mO's enjoy the facelift pictures. If you have not been to mO's grab your coozy and we look forward to your visit. Love to all our friends and family.
Please make your reservations for this years Oyster fest with Becky Calvert, the Oyster Fest cruise director. This year, mO's will have a wood stove so we will be warm in the garage!!!
p.s. we are looking for a full size fridge if you have one to donate to the bar!!
