An elderly couple had been married for 60 yrs. and never kept serets from each other. The elderly lady did have a box and asked her husband to please let it be just hers so he never questioned it.
One day, she got ill, the Dr. said there was no hope. As she spent her final night with her husband, she told him to open the box....inside was 2 dolls and $95,000.
He asked her the meaning...she told him her g-mom had told her to never argue and if she felt like it, she should crochet a doll.
The old man was moved to tears to think she had only been angry with him twice all those years.
But, where did the money come from, he asked her....she replied..."Oh, that is the money I made from the dolls I sold". Hugs...

Well, it's sweet...but I don't think you got it...how often was she mad at him if she had made $95,000.

Katiee.......what an ending........goodness my frustration time is spent calming down on the computer and getting off my problem at that time. Than sometimes I go out with my best friend or my cousin.
(It is funny when I was younger I would work that much harder in the home or outside to rid self of anger or frustration, but no more )
I would had made millions if I had made dolls, at one time I did collect Boyd Bears......only filled a void at that time, but wasn't who I am to purchase such expensive things. Those Boyd Bears went in an auction and the money received made me realize Bears were just stuff. You don't want to know what the balance received was from selling 100+ bears....you'd cry. It was advertized also.
