Old School, New School

 

My new friend

Charlotte,

posted a pic of a little girl with one of these phones,

the one on the left, that is.

 

It inspired me to take this pic.

I found this phone at a yard sale a few years ago.

I think that I paid less than a dollar for it.

 

They are really fun all painted up,

But before it went into the stash,

I set it on my painting counter and plugged it in.

To my surprise, it worked!

And even better,

because of it's weight,

it didn't fall off the counter when I propped it on my shoulder

to talk.

The headphone seemed to fit between

my shoulder and ear better also,

and there were no annoying

"chin pushing the buttons"

moments.

Perfect!

So that is where it stayed.

And I used it,

only to answer

for over a year.

Then the thought...

wonder if you can "dial" it?

And you can!

Funny thing, it will only take seven numbers,

but in our little community,

that still works.

 

The rest of the technology,

my IPhone,

sitting right beside it...

you know,

to keep track of the rest of the world.

 

 

 

 

Resting and de-stressing was on the plan for the weekend.

This scarf was finished,

worked at the shop for awhile on Saturday,

re-arranged the family room,

dinner with friends on Saturday night.

A calm weekend.

Here's to hoping my week and yours is the same.
