Mom always had some funny sayings and I am not sure if she would say it because she didn't hear it right the first time (she had a hearing issue) or she was saying it to get a rise out of us or what but we talked about a few of them the other night so I thought I would share them with all of you...God bless her soul....
Annabelle-isms:
- Yogurt she called yoger.
- Discover card was her Discovery card.
- A retaining wall she called a reclining wall.
- "Isn't that a sore eye?" instead of Isn't that an eyesore?
- The famous mark stores we have Wal-mark, K-mark and the mart store was Hallmart!
- The reader meeting was the meter reading.
- When she watched Dynasty back in the 70 it was Dyna-see to her.
- The best are names she could not pronounce....Chuck Knobloch who was with the Twins she just called him padlock..My roomies niece Maren and of course mom always called her Myron.
- Another one we have said over and over in fun is the reference to Harry Potter which was "What is the big deal with this Harry Porter anyway?"
12/9/07 addition
- The color mauve she called "You know that maude color!"
There are so many others that I can not think of at this time but will add to the list as I remember them so keep checking back to this entry! If you have any that you remember her saying send them on to me and I will be sure to add them!

Do you mind if I add you to my local blogger link list?
It would be so nice to have the local blog link list grow.
Ya know, get that local bike culture growing :)
No problem!
Hey how do you know some of the Vello Bellas? My niece rides for them in California.
Tez,
Not sure I do no any of them unless they have bike blog sites that I have visited. I see they have a Twin Cities chapter.
My niece had visted a Velo Bella fellow blog and had seen Cycle SD and sent me your blog. I had been reading your blog already from a link at either Snakebite or Biking Brady's blog. That is what prompted the question.
