Quotes & Sayings

[Crusty Lugholes]

My Great Grandmother was such a hoot! She had a whole lot of sayings, I heard them through out my childhood and most of them were over my head or I never put much thought into them.

She's been gone for several years now and to this day she continues to crack me up when I recall one of her old sayings and with my adult mind understand exactly what she meant.

I'll share a couple of them with you now.

"An old cat never scratches unless she's covering up her own."

"If wishes were fishes only fools would cast a net."

"Wishfull waste makes woefull want and you might live to say, Oh how I wish I had that which I once tossed away!"

It's my belief that history is a wheel. "Inconsistency is my very essence" -says the wheel- "Rise up on my spokes if you like, but don't complain when you are cast back down into the depths.
