There were these two elderly people living in Sun City West
AZ.
He was a widower and she a widow. They had known one another for a number of years.
Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As he gained a little more
courage, he then inquired of her, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"
He was a widower and she a widow. They had known one another for a number of years.
Now, one evening there was a community supper in the
big activity center. These two were at the same table, across from
one another.
As the meal went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and
finally gathered up his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"

went to their respective places.

Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or

could not recall. Not even a faint memory.
With trepidation, he went to the telephone and called her.
First, he explained to her that he didn't remember as well as he used to.

Then she continued, "And I am so glad that you called,
because I
couldn't remember who had asked me."
