That year, we had bought an old sea captain's house built in 1901. We were newly married and living from paycheck to paycheck. Thanksgiving was going to be a pretty lean dinner after having so many expenses. <br /><br />I was on a cleaning jag and emptied out a closet. There was no light in there so I'm wiping down the walls blind when my finger dipped into a knot hole. (The walls were made of old planks of cedar. <br /><br />Inside the hole was $50--a lot of money in the 70s. Who knows why someone put $50 in a knot hole or if it was a gift from heaven, but it was the best Thanksgiving we ever had. For some reason, things got better for us. We never struggled as much after that incident.Maria Zanninihttp://www.mariazanninihome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-81325591077803853532016-02-27T07:58:31.113-05:002016-02-27T07:58:31.113-05:00The FLW stationary is beautiful.

I can't get myself to spend money on things like that, but I can always appreciate it.<br /><br />Our house was built around 1950, and used to have a root cellar. We have a full basement, and there was a rickety built wooden door in the wall of the foundation that opened onto a small room. No light. Dirt floor. Smelled like a grave. Concrete roof that sagged alarmingly. Empty wooden shelves. We called it the Priest Hole, and were glad when we could pay to have it filled it. Perfect place to store a body or hide something.Bill Peschelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257587479467531187noreply@blogger.com
