A couple who had been married for more than 60 years

had shared everything. They had talked about

everything. They had kept no secrets from each other--

except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the

top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband

never to open or ask her about it. For all of these

years he had never thought about the box, but one day

the woman got very sick and the doctor said she would

not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, her

husband took down the shoe box and took it to his

wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he

should know what was in the box.

 

When he opened it, he found two crocheted doilies and a

stack of money totaling $25,000. He asked her about the

contents. "When we were to be married," she said, "my

grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was

to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry

with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doily."

 

The little old man was so moved, he had to fight back

tears. Only two precious doilies were in the box. She

had only been angry with him two times in all those

years of living and loving. He almost burst into tears.

He asked her where the money came from. "Oh," she

said, "that's the money I made from selling the

doilies."

Thank you so much for that. :lol I may have to try that, but I am not sure I would have time to get any other crocheting done:rofl That's not really true, we are going to cel. 25 this year. I could have probably stashed some money by now though.:lol
