I love this little story.  It reminds me of my parents!!!!

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 dolls, 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.’

A Prayer……
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man; Love to forgive him, and Patience for his moods. Because Lord, if I pray for Strength, I’ll beat him to death, because I don’t have time to crochet.

Bonita has tried to drop these last 10 pounds and just isn’t having any success.  She decided to check out a web site that had a fat burner review to try and find the best one for her. She’s been so very good at cutting back but you know how it is with those last stubborn few pounds.  They always seem to want to hang on.

Well like the old saying goes, ‘If you love someone, set them free.’ Yeah I know there’s more to it but that’s all you need to know when you read the rest of this story. It seems a man in Michigan handcuffed his wife to their bed. I guess a little playfulness is good for any marriage.

Well the only problem with this situation is………………..he lost the key. Can you imaging the 911 call? I bet the people there were rolling laughing after the call was over. The police arrived and used a universal key to free the mans wife. I guarantee they had a good laugh when they got back to headquarters. I would have.

They didn’t feel there was anything going on like a hostage situation or unlawful imprisonment. They figured out it was just a little fun that went a little wrong. Now I know for sure no one will ever handcuff me to a bed no matter how much fun it might seem like.

Would you believe that I dropped my camera yesterday into the ocean. Well I did and now I need a new Canon camera. It might be a blessing in disguise since my camera was getting some age on it. Now they have so much better equipment that I’m sure I’ll not only be able to take more pictures but also get better quality in the pictures I take.

I walked out of the store last night and it had been raining. As luck would have it, I dropped my darn cell phone in a puddle so now I’m checking out cell phones. I need one that has a camera and I can send pictures and text messages because that’s how most of my family keeps in touch. I’m sure I’ll find one that is perfect for me. I better real soon too!!  Mama will be mad if she doesn’t hear from me soon.
