"Sometimes you just need a Pat."
When Mom leaves for Door County on Tuesday, I'll miss her way with words. My favorites from this summer include:
the "un-empty cup of coffee" (bottomless cup of coffee)
"crudiments" (accoutrements)
being "kerflexed" (combo of kerfuffled and perplexed)
"that microwave guy" (Paul Allen)
