 A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They
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. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man 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 dolls and a stack of money totaling 95,000.  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 doll." The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only  two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. "Honey," he said, "that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?" "Oh," she said, "that`s the money I made from selling the dolls." ~author unknown.

Very nice, thank you for your sharing.

I need to go into the business of selling crochet dolls - not many people know how to crochet dolls these days. A Startup Idea?

I am very fortunate in that my past clients and present clients have been a joy to know.  So much so, some of them sends me humourus email like this. 

I am glad to hear you are enjoying it. Hopefully it has given all of you a good hearty chuckle!

Yes. Sometimes when your love life is in shambles or does not exist, working always helps. I have GREAT material from my, now 7 year relationship! I`m a writer, he`s an A-hole (sometimes). Good for business!
