The Chicken Coop

I am a paper crafter. I've been playing with paper, and cutting and pasting for many years now and I still just love it. I teach classes each month and would love to have you.
You can find me at MyRedHen.blogspot.com and on Pinterest
or email me at MyRedHen4@yahoo.com
I'd love to hear from you.
Every now and then I have some cards or little treats available for sale that may be seen here.
My blog also contains my personal posts. Ignore them if you like, but you may get a kick out of them. Maybe my girls will read them one day and get insights into the inner workings of an old woman's brain....Scary Thought!
There is a list of labels on the right side of the blog, so you can click there to go to only the posts that you are interested in. That will allow you to skip the personal posts and any items for sale if you wish. No matter which way you choose, I hope will enjoy my little blog and visit often.

One Ringy Dingy

Bit of info....

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.
