I remember when we would speak to a real "operator" to give the number we wanted to call. We even had a party line one time after Himself and I were married. THAT was interesting!!!!

But I have been known to answer it occasionally. And, if the electricity goes out the cordless ones don't work. We found that out. Good thing to have a cell as well. Anyway, back to the card I just love your take on the challenge. I love all the clocks in the background too.

I saw a bit on television a few days ago where two 16 year old boys were trying to figure out how to use a rotary phone, It took them over three minutes to get the number right. Great card for this challenge.

Gosh, it is fun looking back at how much things change. We were talking this morning about the new craze of having food kits delivered. Even when my son and DIL were married, he knew how to cook, clean, take care of a car, sew on a button, etc, but she didn't! I laughed one day when she said he taught her how to gift wrap a present. We used to have 4 digital #s in our small town for dialing the phone, and then it went to 7 digits that included two alpha characters. Some adults cannot tell time from an analog clock! And many can't make change when they are handed too much money. Even the grocery stores stock such different products from when we were little kids. It's all so interesting. Thanks for the fun card creation, and the memories! hugs, deDonna Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16493910748228055970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058723264925601579.post-35748246943413748082019-01-16T11:28:05.480-05:002019-01-16T11:28:05.480-05:00I just love this card!

Dang, this challenge is bringing back memories. Yes, we had a party line and a big ol' black phone.

OH YE...This is awesome and I love that background! OH YES 3-Party Lines ... I remember them well! You'd have to pick up the phone and see if anyone was using it before you could make your call and some people would ignore the fact that you wanted the line and just kept on talking! Ugh! LOL Thanks for the fun memories ... <br />OH and in fact, I just last week made my mother disconnect her old black rotary phone because it was still plugged into the old '4 prong' line and it was reaking havoc with the new phones.
