I’ve been in bed sick since Thursday afternoon. It’s been miserable. I might be your MoM, but I’m a huge baby. One of the good things about this illness has been that it coincides with the Euros (think World Cup, but just for Europe). Three games a day and I’ve got “permission” to just sit…

I was playing with my grandkids this morning so I couldn’t write the blog until now. We’ve been driving around going to parks and rivers all over Southern Oregon. The day started with a frog hunt that turned into “Let’s climb on Papa and play Horsies!” Sounds perfect! The biggest obstacle was that we had…

Ok, so I’m willing to admit that the title of this post is a bit odd. As always, roll with your MoM for a bit and it will come together. One of my grandsons went to his first ever birthday party this weekend. He’s nine, but he started school in 2020, which means he started…

I’ve been working together with Mrs MoM trying to redo some old church pews. We sanded and stained them together, then the final step was to put some urethane on them. Since they will be for outside seating, I decided to use boat spar urethane. The first one turned out ok, then we did a…

My wife and I have been working on a backyard project for the last year or more. We are slowly putting in a tiered patio, a pergola, plants, a fire pit, lights, camera, action… Well, maybe not the camera and action, but the rest of it has helped our backyard retreat slowly take shape. The…

Back in 1962 a little band out of England was formed. They called themselves The Rolling Stones. If you’re not familiar with them, stop reading this and do so quick research! Fast forward to 2024 and they have millions of tour miles under their belts as well as millions of records sold. This weekend I…

Each Sunday we go out to lunch with my mother (your GrandMoM?). It always happens after church and it also almost always takes place at Denny’s. It’s her thing. The lady loves her some Denny’s, what can I say? Since she knows she will get an “audience” with me each week, she tends to save…

One thing that you can count on with your MoM is that he is cheap! I love when I walk down the sidewalk or across the parking lot and I find a coin. It doesn’t matter the denomination, if I see money on the ground I’ll pick it up. Yes, even pennies. I recently saw…

I’ve been working on my waist line since I returned home from a recent visit to the beach. Let’s just say that the pictures were less than flattering and leave it at that. With some dedication and focus I have been able to shed a few pounds and and feeling better about myself. This weekend…

I’m at my daughter’s house helping with some home improvement projects. A few years back they bought an 80 year old house that needed lots of work. Back then we put in new floors and painted most of the house, but as things tend to go, once they moved in the projects got put on…
