Marriage Proposal ...

It was just a piece of folded yellowed paper, tucked into a book at a thrift store.

When I opened it up and read it, I giggled in awe.

And wondered how someone could have thrown this one away!

I wish I knew the story behind this delightful marriage proposal.

Western Union - Sunday Scans

I snuck off by myself to Goodwill yesterday - I found a few treasures, but mostly I just had fun.
I was overjoyed to find this wonderful telegram, it sparked my curiosity completely!

Apparently "John" was in Germany when his wife experienced a life altering event, and he was unable to be there.

Did she graduate from college?
Did she have a baby?
I'll probably never know!

I am submitting this wonderfully tantalizing Western Union telegram to Al's "Sunday Scans" - and I encourage everyone to join us - and show us what YOU have scanned!
