Not sure if this is the right place or not B0b you can move it if needed.

Mullen guitars has been closed this week. We had a death in the family. My grandfather died, (not Del) my other one. So we had to go to the funeral earlier this week, Dixie and Del are at the hospital, because Dixie has had what we hope is her last surgery on Tuesday night. She went in about 5:10 pm and it only took a few hours. She has had her hole left shoulder replaced with an artificial joint. She came out of surgery and is doing great, they were thinking of releasing her, but the roads are closed so nowhere to go.

So why are we closed, we got dumped on, over 28" of snow, my family is stranded in Denver and just managed to get to a computer. It is just now starting to let up and hopefully we can be dug out soon. The whole state got pounded and the shop is probably buried like everything else, so if and when we can get to it, we will be open again. Not sure how many have tried contacting us over this week, but I thought I would mention this so noone gets mad that we are not responding to them. If you talk to someone that is trying to contact us, please tell them why. Thank you, and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hey Mike,
I hope your family are doing OK and enjoying the Holidays. It sounds like this has been a tough year. You're right about being buried by snow. Typical Colorado weather. It's back to shoveling more snow for me.

Hey Mike...I used to live in an area where that accumulation of snow kept us in or out for days at a time, too, so, I know what you guys are going through. Our best to all of you....tell Mr. Del and Ms Dixie that our thoughts and prayers are with them. Also, we pray the surgery and the recovery time to be expeditious as well. Merry Christmas to all....and a great New Year ahead. HAL & DEBE The Higgins'.

Mike,

Thanks for the info. I had emailed you to see how Dixie was doing. Glad she seems better and sorry about the death of your grandfather. Take care and tell Del, Dixie and the whole crew Merry Christmas. Be safe.
