This morning, Jayme, Zack and I talked about an old phone that arrived at our house as part of the final touches to our mid-century modern home renovation. Turns out, it's a lot more than just a decoration, it brought back a lot of memories! 

Memories of having to stretch the cord to take the phone into a nearby room to get some privacy.

Memories of party lines and having to share phone time, not only with your family but with your neighbours too! 

Memories of busy signals and a time when there WERE no answering machines.

And maybe most of all, memories of a time when if you weren't home, you just didn't get the call. 

Obviously, there are pro's and con's to everything but fun to remember a simpler time thanks to one old turquoise phone.
