I believe my grandmother ...I love the group hikes. I believe my grandmother was a phone operator like that. With our three party lines we each had distinctive rings.

LOL... yet another beautiful hike...with all those beautiful friends. I love those suspenders, my dad wore them with all his pants. I never worked the switchboard but I do remember them. for the years we lived in Kentucky, our number was 3.... and to call someone we picked up the handset off the wall and jiggled the thingy up and down and she answered and we would say please ring number 12 or 2 or place a long distance call to Savannah... in 59 we were on a party line, which is what you described here. there were about 10 of us on one line with the different rings. no privacy at all since when it rang if we wanted to we could pick it up and listen to others...

I lo...Hello Jo, I enjoyed going along on your hike. I love seeing the dogs too, so you did well including the critters. The views and flowers are gorgeous. I was about 15 1/2 when I got my first job, seems so long ago. I am glad the phone technology has approved. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!eileeninmdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00070309645796725309noreply@blogger.com
