Quotes & Sayings
Where do I begin. One aspect that made Marlene so special was her ability to retain and remember various quotes and sayings from back in the day.
Attaching a document she wrote re "Sayings"
Just below are a few I remember. Even recently she would say something and I would respond “I’ve never heard that one before” Marlene had a ton of them.
1- Holy Snappin Turtle
2- One crow sorrow, two crow joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, etc
3- Well Piffle
4- Ratzelfratz
5- Red sky at night, sailor's delight
6- What do you do if you live in a shoe? Get Laced.
7- "God bless her littler heart" she would say re our West Highland Terrier named Angel
8- Chilly Willie
I’ll sometimes walk into the house and a saying comes to mind but then forget it. She however never forgot any of them.
