New Look

In honor of my newly painted door on my house, I have changed my blog to match….orange.  This seems to be my new color choice lately.  I have never been an “orange person” but seem to be gravitating to it.  I even got orange flowers on my verandah to match!

I know it has been forever since I blogged.  Life is busy, what can I say.   I am at the office now, suppose to be working, but thought I would take a minute to catch up on the blogs.  Seems a few of you bloggers have been slacking off with the nice weather.

To update you on the Mullen medical news:  I have surgery on Monday, June 4 to remove my portocath…yah.  Geoffrey has surgery on Tuesday, June 5 on his ear.  Since he was a baby he has had ongoing ear problems with several sets of tubes.  His eustacian tube on his right side is not working properly, which is beginning to “thin and bow his eardrum” and also causes him to have ALOT of pressure in his ear. Hopefully this will relieve the pain for him.  Both procedures are day surgery and we will be home that evening.

A friend wrote in her blog how she was reading the book of Proverbs to her children.  I thought what a good idea. So I am rereading it, sometimes to myself and sometimes to Sara.  The other morning Sara and I were sitting at the patio table on the verandah having breakfast and I was reading to her.  Right in the middle she stopped me to tell me she had to go to the bathroom “but to please stop reading till she came back!”.  She very intently listens although I am not sure how much she understands at only 3.  I am finding all kinds of new things that I didn’t ”see” before and it is amazing the little gems of truth you find when you reread something.

I just want to remind everyone to stop for a few minutes, early in the morning perferably, take a deep breath, look around and thank God for the beauty that surrounds you, your health and those you love.  When I go out on my verandah in the morning I am in awe of the green of the grass, the country smells, the vibrant colors of my flowers, the sounds and noise of our animals…its hard to give justice to it.  You’ll just have to come visit our farm and see for yourself. No matter what is going on in your life….Life is good.
