The Mulligan Clan

A Thank You To All The Mulligan Nurses (& Doctors Too!)

2012-02-09T19:25:00.002-05:00

While doing research for work today I cam across a post that made me think of all the Mulligans that have answered the calling (or are studying to now) to take care of others, Thank you!!

"You're a nurse? That's cool, I wanted to do that when I was a kid. How much do you make?"
The nurse replied: "HOW MUCH DO I MAKE?" ...
I can make holding your hand seem like the most important thing in the world when you're scared. ...
I can make your child breathe when they stop. ...
I can help your father survive a heart attack. ...
I can make myself get up at 5 a.m. to make sure your mother has the medicine she needs to live. ...
I work all day to save the lives of strangers. ...
I make my family wait for dinner until I know your family member is taken care of. ...
I make myself skip lunch so that I can make sure that everything I did for your wife today is charted. ...
I make myself work weekends and holidays because people don't just get sick Monday thru Friday. ...
Today, I might save your life. ...

How much do I make? All I know is, I make a difference.

Just a word about today Joey Jr is 30! I was the first of my family to have a baby, the first of the cousins
to have a baby and the first to make my mother a grandmother and grandma a great grandmother.
Aunt Kathleen was not happy to be known as a great aunt and that birth made Uncle jimmy and the rest
great aunt and uncles and so it goes. So happy birthday to my 6ft 1in little Joey who is my contrabution to
the next generation of the family tree. I leave on this note Joyce Kathy Harry Carlos and my mother
think back 30yrs ?????To my brother David you took better care of little Joey at about 9mo old then the
the girl I hired who lived in my building at Imperial Gardens who i paid half my hourly wage which was
about $6.66 per hour! She left my place a mess made my kid unhappy you on the other hand took good care of him and even walked him to Grand Union in my big hendstrum stroller not many young guys
would of done that. So to all you cousins and niece and my daughter and son with your own young
children, THIRTY YEARS!! I also remember being 24 :} Happy Birthday to my oldest son Joey Jr

A big happy birthday to Kai Finlay Comstock. At 10:08AM on Saturday, October 22nd and Phil's 50th Birthday :) Kim gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Kim and I are now very proud parents and very happy to make three very happy Grandparents. He was 8 Pounds 6 Ounces, 21 inches long, and gave us quite a scare born with a cord around his neck. Kai is truly our miracle baby, a long time coming, four years in the making, and even over a week late arriving. Mom, Dad, and Baby are well recovering at UCSF hospital and finally getting out tomorrow.

We headed to NYC on Sunday to see

ZARKANA

Cirque Du Soleil latest show

at Radio City Music Hall

Radio City Music hall is beautiful

Zarkana was Fabulous!!!
If you've never been you should go

Afterwards there was a street fair going on.

And of Course Lady Anne has to try on the

fake "real" fur wrap

(we didn't let her buy it)

Anthony gets a funny hat

Girls love to shop for bargains

Shopping makes you hungry and this is a great place to eat.

They brew their own micro-beers(whatever that is)

Carlos loved it!!!

Kathy with her paws up,

that's what a micro brew beer will do to you, LOL!!

Finally we're heading home!

Hope you had a great Sunday like we did:)

The message sent from Mr. McCauley at breakfast today in Pembroke Pines FL. was one of great affection and concern that I pass it along to his two sons Kyle and Scott and his wonderful daughters in law Farnez and Alexandra congratulations on your wonderful wedding anniversaries! Mr. McCauley stated in his message of love that he forgot to send out cards by way of the U S postal service to be there in your mailboxes on time! So it is with great joy that i pass along his warm heart felt thoughts before he goes to the restroom and then rolls on towards the cockpit of the Denny's front door and takes on the warmth of a nice hot sunny south Florida day!Feel blessed you guys were on his mind at this trying time of decision making over an omelet or sandwich complements of Uncle James Mulligan who was the pilot that was not going down with a full stomic to the Hardrock Casino on his way home to Ft. Lauderdale the eats are always on him and that's worth fighting for. So God Bless and enjoy your special day! Love the woman at the computer this special day..... I will never forget Mr McCauley for asking me to do such an honor for him!

E's First Dance Recital - May 23, 2011

2011-05-24T01:07:00.000-04:00

Beginning in fall 2010 Elizabeth began taking Jazz, Tap and Ballet dance lessons. Since she started I have had a very hard time getting any information and even less demonstrations of what she was learning... she was completely mum! Even mom only saw glimpses of her rehearsals over the past few months...

So on Sunday the big day arrived and I can say she (and all the dancers) did a GREAT job!!!!

Way To Go Eliza-Rose!!!!

West Coast News!

2011-05-11T01:28:00.004-04:00

So Kim and I have some wonderful news! We got a new car!! OK, that's not really the news at all, as I'm sure everyone has already heard. We are indeed PREGNANT! After a very long journey we have finally gotten the great news that we are indeed going to have a baby. We are due on October 13th, and have even found out the sex... Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for us during this very trying time, and it has truly paid off! Grandma Jane was able to travel out to San Francisco to take a nice family vacation with us and go with us for our biggest Ultrasound so far, to see our baby boy!

After Jane landed, we decided to take a couple nice shots in front of our quaint home in Pacifica. Jane and I are in front of the smaller outdoor pool, and Kim and Jane are in front of our house.

...and here is Kim and I in front of our larger outdoor pool.

This is "Mom and Grandma's" in front of a cute little baby store in Monterey. Gosh I love shopping...

One of my favorite all time pictures of "The Grandma's" waiting for the Ultrasound before our trip to Monterey.

Here is Kim and Jane in our new baby room... Yes, as you may have guessed, the pictures above were not really of our house in Pacifica. This one is though! We actually drove up to Cambria to visit Hearst Castle after the long weekend in Monterey.

Just a beautiful picture of a beautiful woman with a beautiful background. This was taken 2 weeks after we found out the great news.

Happy Belated Easter to everyone too!

Not quite sure how this picture got in here, but I can't figure out the delete button... :)

...and introducing our baby boy! :) Much love to everyone and we are missing each and everyone of you!

but actually NY State produces more maple syrup

each year than VT.

Vermont is just more famous for it

A few days in and the bed got made! hehee :}Cathleen

Cathleen came to me the other day to tell me something about the baby and said, "when I got him" I have to show her proof he was born from her! hehee :]

2011 Family Reunion - Compound Selection

2011-01-30T22:44:00.001-05:00

You may have noticed the black smoke billowing from the Vatican turned white today....

The Mulligan Clan Family Reunion Steering Committee has made a lodging selection.

The selection was made to satisfy criteria essential to a successful reunion for all

One location so all attendees that want to connect with family can stay at one facility
Family friendly - open the door and let the kids play!
BBQ picnic area
Well reviewed (service, cleanliness)
Accommodate families, couples and singles
On-site recreation and activities (adult and kids)
Relaxed atmosphere...but near wide range of attractions and destinations
Reasonably pricing

The Elms Waterfront Cottages and Lodges is an 18 unit property located just outside Lake George on Lake Luzerne, NY. Big enough to hold as many clan members that can make it but small enough to make the 2011 reunion truly special because we will all have the option to be on the same grounds.

Grounds and Lodging Pictures...

Location...

Nearby Activities...

(Lake George Village, Rafting,

Saratoga Gambling, Amusement Park...)

On premises recreation -

campfire, bbq, beach, lake,

fishing, row boat(s), play area,

jet ski rental, boat rental...

The Elms offers clean and comfortable lodging options that can be managed to accommodate all (be on lookout for lodging arrangements email) if this is the will of the majority of clan members.

Have a look at the site, give some thought to the reunion and be sure to comment, respond to the follow-up email or call JAD, KCM or even me GPE "the unethical one". With a little planing
and action now we can make the 2011 reunion a reality!!!

SoCal to SoFlo to see BB!!!

Mulligan Family Reunion 2011

2011-01-20T20:13:00.004-05:00

Hey All!

I recently sent out an email to everyone regarding our upcoming family reunion. I requested that you please let me know if you plan on attending or not and to date have not heard from some of you. I know you're busy but please if you could just take a few moments to reply to my email it would be greatly appreciated. If for some reason you didn't get the email, please let me know. Remember I included my email address on the letter I sent a couple of months ago.

We are looking into places to stay in Lake George that will accommodate all of us and let us be close to things to do. We were thinking it would be good for socializing if we are all in the same spot. It takes quite a bit of time to search for and research places but as soon as we find one that is suitable we'll let you know.

Let me give a BIG Thank you to Kyle and Farnaz for jumping in and helping with the leg work.

It is very much appreciated!

Thar's all for now.

I'll be in touch very soon,

Joyce

HD update 1/14/2011

2011-01-14T16:40:00.004-05:00

As you can see HD won't be shooting a gun any time soon.

He under went surgery today to fix his shoulder that was injured a few months ago in an

altercation with an inmate.

So Red, this post will have to do for now

because when the shoulder is healed

then he will have his knee done.

BTW, all went well today!

Facts - Fiction and the Abuse of Power!!!

2011-01-13T01:16:00.000-05:00

Here ye, Here ye all you of Mulli-land!!

Let it be known that on the 12th day of 2011 a travesty of injustice took place in the form of an un called for, un provoked vicious attack was bestowed upon...gpe founder of the blog, JAD senior member of the blog....and mugmin, moral compass of the blog....as we were BLIND sided by redmin and the wizard of oz himself SWM!!!!!

Will we stand for clan on clan attacks?????

I sure hope not!!!

So go to the comment section and let it be known...

YOUR AS MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!

The Simple Facts::

GPE Picks up AVAILABLE player in fantasy Football league...

SWM disapproves of the move and proceeds to click here

GPE goes on to WIN the championship with a clear conscience because he is guilty of nothing more then being a SUPERIOR player!!!!!

Then the coupe to seize power was hatched complete with propaganda, false accusation, media smears and really bad legalese.....

So Yes I Deny Any And All Claims....And Only Wish for Peace and Harmony in MulliLand!!!!!

DO NOT BE ALARMED!!!!!!!

Up date from the desk of Helen :)

2010-12-23T19:01:00.002-05:00

Ok lurkers and lookers I have amends to make! well one it seems? so let me take care of that first!Dear Jimmy I don't want you to be mad at me! I do LIKE you, I never ment to leave you off the team I just put Gail in there as the brother sister connection team mascot! Scott was the team NY. So Im fixing the mixup you are Jimmy team leader in Conn. I know better then anyone because I know everything! That you and Gail love your brother and I was just hoping to give everyone a little piece of mind not offend! So if your happy now Im happy :)No hard feelings?

Now for team Florida up date, I thought this was the time of year we think about the birth of baby Jesus and the three wise men and the north star? well it turnes out we had Uncle Bill and the three Dr. visits and his anchor firmly planted here in Florida for the next three months.although it was not something Uncle Bill wanted to do Im sure he did let Owen and I go with him to meet his Doctors and here what they had to say.Im pleased to let everyone know Uncle Bill showed bravery at its best as he went from visit to visit holding on to true Christmass hope that one of of them would give him the ok to fly. As we all know now they did not. I saw first had how the best of uncle Bill came through when the last Dr we saw nearly bit his head off with such an idea!Thats when he got it!hehee His heart is in the healing and streagnthing phase, no Exercise just doing normal everyday things and walking untill his next EKG so I will feed him Honey Backed Ham and turkey and let him enjoy all his christmass decorations he gave away that are around my livingroom including but not limmited to his BRIGHTLY lit santa face that hung on his porch.There will be family although not his very own we will surrond him with love and good company untill the day Lauren can drive him to the airport for the first of many trips he is waiting to take! So as I end my rambling lol It is with warm and loving thoughts we here in Floria will take care of a very special brother, father, papa and uncle
Have a wonderful Christmass and not to worrie Im on the McCauley post untill he fires me...... God Bless Uncle Bill, Love team leader in FL Helen

A Note From The Desk of Helen :)

2010-12-12T15:06:00.002-05:00

Just a few lines to say hello and let everyone know you are about to become a member of a very special and very inportant team. All of use have a role in our parents life, that is not their favorite topic of conversation but one we are all talking about and that is their changing health. I say parent because Uncle bill has always been a father figure to me. I have been watching and listening to everyone in their care and concern for him. Uncle Bill who lives here in florida where he is happy, but more inportant to him is his ability to travel and visit his children and grandchildren.And I know you guys need to know he is ok. So I have educated myself to the facts of heart failour and understand what it is.Out of concern for my own mother and now Uncle Bill So I dubed myself team leader in the sence that Uncle Bill needs a pair of eyes and ears at the Dr. office as i would if it were my father.My eyes might not be good but my ears and mouth are quite fine.So we now have team McCauley here in Florida, headed by myself, Gary, Lauren, Uncle jimmy, and Cathleen as support team doers. Whatever that intails they will do.Then we have team NY headed by Scott and Gail and anyone else that is related in that area when Uncle Bill is in the area. Then team Kyle in the chicargo area, Owen in Nabraska I think thats where you live?hehee anyway and Dr Laura and Chris in Califorina. I give Uncle Bill a big thumbs up for his efforts to do as his Dr say, he is eating healthy taking his medications montering his weight and watching his salt no pushing pulling or lifting anything heavy. Uncle bill has the best part of his health plan under control and that is his healthy attitude towards changes in his health and life and a positive willingness to do whatever he has to to live his best life possibale a good attitude is his best defence. A few others in the family who shall remain nameless should use him as a role model.All health conditions can be managed but you need a cooperating body to do the work and except help when needed.In no way does this mean your life is over it just needs a little fine tuning and we all are a team when it comes to family and should all be on the same page when it comes to family members that don't live near family.It is with love and concern for my uncle Bill and knowing how much my cousins lover their father and aunt Gail I wrote this post.

with much love Team florida

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...
