Today in 1877 the first telephone was installed in 1877.
In those days (my old days) we were tethered to a wall to reach each other on the phone. Our numbers had a word in front of them like Walnut or Topaz, two of mine at the time. There were operators and party lines. Sometimes you'd pick up the phone and someone was already on it and you'd have to waIt until they were finished to make your call.
What in the world would we do without them today. They are a huge part of our lives, we depend on them and are rarely without them right at hand . They are our telephones, our calendars and planners, our computers and so much more.
During this time of isolation my phone is my link to the outside world. I need to get messages out and sometimes I just need to hear and converse with a friendly voice. As I matter of fact, I'm writing this post on mine right now.
Be safe everyone and grab that phone of yours and let someone out there know you're thinking about them.
