They had known each other for a number of years being high school classmates and having attended class reunions in the past without fail.

This 60th anniversary of their class, the widower and the widow made a foursome with two other singles.

They had a wonderful evening, their spirits high.

The widower throwing admiring glances across the table

The widow smiling coyly back at him.

Finally, he picked up courage to ask her, “Will you marry me?”

After about six seconds of careful consideration, she answered, “Yes,….

yes I will!”

The evening ended on a happy note for the widower

But the next morning he was troubled.

Did she say “Yes” or did she say “No?”

He couldn’t remember

Try as he would, he just could not recall

He went over the conversation of the previous evening, but his mind was blank.

He remembered asking the question but for the life of him could not recall her response

With fear and trepidation he picked up the phone and called her.

First, he explained that he couldn’t remember as well as he used to

Then he reviewed the past evening.

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?”

“Why you silly man, I said ‘Yes

Yes I will.’ And I meant it with all my heart.”

The widower was delighted

He felt his heart skip a beat.

Then she continued

“And I am so glad you called because I couldn’t remember who asked me!”

The Perfect Husband https://echowoven.com/the-perfect-husband/ https://echowoven.com/the-perfect-husband/#respond Mon, 29 Jul 2024 01:19:15 +0000 https://echowoven.com/?p=74609 Several men are in the locker room of a golf club.

A mobile phone on a bench rings and a man picks up with the speakerphone on and begins to talk.

Everyone else in the room stops talking:

MAN: “Hello?”

WOMAN: “Hi Honey, it’s me

Are you at the club?”

MAN: “Yes.”

WOMAN: “I’m at the shops now and found this beautiful leather coat

It’s only $2,000

Is it OK if I buy it?”

MAN: “Sure, go ahead if you like it that much.”

WOMAN: “I also stopped by the Lexus dealership and saw the new models

I saw one I really liked.”

MAN: “How much?”

WOMAN: “$50,000.”

MAN: “OK, but for that price, I want it with all the options.”

WOMAN: “Great! Oh and one more thing

I was just talking to Kate and found out that the house I wanted last year is back on the market

They’re asking $980,000 for it.”

MAN: “Well, then go ahead and make an offer of $900,000

They’ll probably take it

If not, we can go the extra eighty-thousand if it’s what you really want.”

WOMAN: “OK

I’ll see you later! I love you so much!”

MAN: “Bye! I love you, too.”

The man hangs up.

The other men in the locker room are staring at him in astonishment, mouths wide open.

He turns and asks.

“Anyone know whose phone this is?”

Power Of Holding Hands https://echowoven.com/power-of-holding-hands/ https://echowoven.com/power-of-holding-hands/#respond Sun, 28 Jul 2024 18:09:05 +0000 https://echowoven.com/?p=74601 I was sitting on a beach one summer day, watching two children, a boy and a girl, playing in the sand.

They were hard at work building an elaborate sandcastle by the water’s edge, with gates and towers and moats and internal passages.

Just when they had nearly finished their project, a big wave came along and knocked it down, reducing it to a heap of wet sand.

I expected the children to burst into tears, devastated by what had happened to all their hard work

But they surprised me.

Instead, they ran up the shore away from the water, laughing and holding hands, and sat down to build another castle.

I realized that they had taught me an important lesson.

All the things in our lives, all the complicated structures we spend so much time and energy creating, are built on sand

Only our relationships to other people endure.

Sooner or later, the wave will come along and knock down what we have worked so hard to build up

When that happens, only the person who has somebody’s hand to hold will be able to laugh.

“I just had a dream that you gave me the most beautiful diamond necklace. What do you think it means?”

“You’ll know tonight,” he said with a smile.

The woman could hardly think of anything else all day and she couldn’t wait for her husband to return home.

That evening, the man finally came home with a small package and gave it to his wife.

Delighted, she opened it excitedly to find a book entitled…

“The Meaning of Dreams

A Golfer And His Buddies Were Playing A Big Round Of Golf https://echowoven.com/a-golfer-and-his-buddies-were-playing-a-big-round-of-golf/ https://echowoven.com/a-golfer-and-his-buddies-were-playing-a-big-round-of-golf/#respond Sun, 21 Jul 2024 17:25:43 +0000 https://echowoven.com/?p=73642 A golfer and his buddies were playing a big round of golf for $200.

At the eighteenth green the golfer had a ten foot putt to win the round, and the $200.

As he was lining up his putt, a funeral procession started to pass by.

The golfer set down his putter, took his hat off, placed it over his chest, and waited for the funeral procession to pass.

After it passed, he picked up his putter and returned to lining up his putt, and completed it, thus winning the game and the money.

Afterwards, one of his buddies said,

“That was the most touching thing I have ever seen. I can’t believe you stopped playing, possibly losing your concentration, to pay your respects.”

“Well,” said the golfer,

“We have been married for 35 years.”

He was very surprised to see this scene and without stopping he said to the farmer,

“If the bull stopped, you wouldn’t understand.”

Farmer: Understand sir, if the bull stops walking, the bell will not ring.

The engineer thought for a minute and said ……..

“But what if this bull stopped in one place and just kept moving his neck?

The farmer quietly replied: Our bull …………………doesn’t work in the corporate sector, sir! ”
