The Joyful Journey

21 October 2008

Bye Arby.....

My good friend Arby, over at Arby's Archives (don't bother looking for it....IT'S GONE!), has hung up his blogging typewriter for good.

The antics of this stay-at-home, homeschooling dad, his hard-working (VERY patient) wife, and his three ~~crazy~~ delightful children have been one of the highlights of my mornings for over a year now. While I will miss reading his hilarious and thought-provoking posts, I applaud his desire to do what is best for him and for his family. But his blog will be GREATLY missed!

He's promised that he will continue to visit all of his blogging friends regularly, so I'm thinking he'll probably see this post! If you've been a reader of Arby's blog, and would like to tell him how much you'll miss it (or how mad you are that he's abandoned us), feel free to leave a comment for him here!!

Don't be a stranger, Arby.

Now there's one last thing that we need to know.

Was it because we didn't do anything about the goat?

Aw man. All the good blogs take off to do silly thing like take care of their families. Where are their priorities?

(Just teasing, but he will be missed!)

I didn't see that one at all. What happened? He doesn't seem to have any posts on his blog.

You are far too kind. Thank you. Don't be too mad at me. I'll take you up on your offline offer to guest blog once in awhile just to share heart warming moments like going to bed last night and finding that Captain Chaos had left her bed, climbed into my bed, and then had an accident. Absolutely nothing self-serving about that girl!

I too, loved to read Arby's blog each morning. It always made me smile. Thanks, Arby.

It's not allowed! Family first? Pshaw! What about those of us who count on him to get our day going? Selfish, I tell you! Purely selfish!
Him, I mean.
Not me.
No way! =P

You aren't going to be able to help yourself, Arby. You NEED to blog. You're welcome to come share your stories on my blog ANYTIME! Stories about sweet little girls peeing in daddy's bed are just begging to be told. And we all love laughing that it happened to you and not us!!

Geesh...I was wondering what happened! I thought it was a HSB glitch or something when I clicked and nothing was there.

Well, of course, he'll be missed greatly! He was already teasing me on my blog this morning though, so I guess he was true to his word about visiting.

Now, here's the real painful question.....WHAT ABOUT THE WHERE'S THE WREATH CONTEST part II??? =)

...with no warning at all....I'm glad to know what happened when all of a sudden he was gone, off of friends lists and all, no trace of the old posts....

I will miss your words too,

I feel like I just lost a friend! Thanks for posting this ... I would have never known.....He's gone... just... "gone like a fart in the wind" (quoted from Shawshank Redemption).

I hope he pops in sometimes!!

Aw-I am so upset! I was looking for his blog yesterday and wondered what happened. I'm glad I came over here and you posted about this. I will miss his hilarious posts terribly! Holly
