Default funny card story

you may have already seen this one, but it's so cute I had to share again!

As a new bride, Aunt Edna moved into the small home on her husband's ranch near Snowflake. She put a shoe box on a shelf in her closet and asked her husband never to touch it. For fifty years Uncle Jack left the box alone, until Aunt Edna was old and dying. One day when he was putting their affairs in order, he found the box again and thought it might hold something important
Opening it, he found two handmade cards and $82,500 in cash. He took the box to her and asked about the contents. "My mother gave me that box the day we married," she explained. "She told me to make a handmade card to help ease my frustrations every time I got mad at you." Uncle Jack was very touched that in 50 years she'd only been mad at him twice.:rolleyes: "What's the $82,500 for?" he asked. "Oh, that's the money I made selling the cards."

I love this!! I can't wait to show it to my husband LOL!! He'll probably say. . . "You should start doing that, we can use the money." ;) ;)

Thanks for giving me a good laugh this a.m., Lisa!

Cute story, that's a lot of cards! I wonder what Aunt Edna would think of all the supplies and tools we have today. It'd be great to see some examples of her old cards

TFS, that was a great one! And a good idea about making a card every time I was mad at DH. I, too, might have all that money! lol
