Sorry to hear it, Babs, but I sure do understand. The golden days of blogging disappeared when Facebook came on the scene.
See you on Facebook!
:D

Yes. Thankfully most of us are Facebook friends so it’s not so bad. I usually rad through daily, even if I don’t always comment :)

I'm so sorry to read this, and yet I too wonder how much longer I'll pay for hosting. So glad we are Facebook friends and I can keep up with you and Mo there.
Cheers!

Oh Kathy! I still remember that yours was the first blog I plucked up enough courage to comment on and I still remember the post that made me chuckle. You leaning out of the car window and dribbling ice cream all over your fathers car! We did have some great blogging days but all good things have their ending so we have to move on with no regrets. Mo and I are also thrilled to have you and Dave as our friends and remember our meeting up for the first time. Then of course at our wedding which was the best! We now wait patiently for the next time we see you both :)

I know it's a sad day for you and I fear I'll find myself in the same boat eventually. I keep paying my hosting service and domain, but for what? That said, I'm delighted that blogging is what brought us together so many years ago and Dave and my friendship with you and Mo is one of the great gifts of my life. So Beetle's Humour might be having its sunset, but our friendship lives on and how happy I am about that!

I could but I really don’t think I will blog again. Having lost my blog twice and restarted it, I don’t think I could face it all again. But who knows? Maybe one day I might do something again.

Hi Meleah! I still get a lump in my throat, no matter how many times I read it.

Yes, it does bring a lump to the throat :)

Oh WOW... that made me completely choke up... like BIG TIME. How beautiful... and how true of all loving mothers!

What a nice tribute to your mom and all moms. They certainly are a treasure.

I don't think we ever stop that. It's been 31 years and we're still saying things like that :)

So sweet and on the money! I miss my mama, too. There's so much I would still like to share with her, ask her. I see something and think "Mom would like that".

We would say so much if we only could :)

This is spot on. Moms are very precious and they do so very much. My mother was a gem and I sure wish I could tell her so one more time.

Have a fabulous day Babs. Hugs to you both. ♥♥♥

I hated Mothers Day, for years. It might have been better if I'd had children, but Mothers Day was totally focussed around my mum, which made it hard. I'm OK with it now, though.

That's beautiful, Babs. And of course, I can't help thinking of my own mother while reading it. Though she only raised three children and seldom wore nail varnish (not allowed in her line of work), she did all those other things. Always busy when we were young, and made a beautiful knitted doll only months before she died aged ninety-one.

Mothers Day is tough. But we can honour our mothers this way, can't we?

Thanks, Ron. I will tell her ;)

Babs, this poem is absolutely beautiful! That last part brought tears to my eyes. Please tell your sister I said, well-written!

Have a lovely Sunday, my friend!
X to you and Mo
