I for one miss talking on the phone. Seems no one has time to chat anymore. I did talk with my middle son yesterday for 2 glorious hours, and he called me!

I bet your old friends were so pleased ♥<br />Growing up phone calls were expensive, and we were only allowed to make "necessary" ones like to make a doctor's appointment. So as soon as I moved into my own apartment I spent HOURS just chatting with my friends. These days? Same as you: landline is here to screen marketing harassment. <br />I'm just thinking I might write a Christmas card every day between Dec 1 - 24, you know, I'm always good for a special kind of advent calendar ;-)Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06945984135731336978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199397575911294318.post-71592133192851938992017-11-28T19:55:33.992-06:002017-11-28T19:55:33.992-06:00I love talking to people.

One is that we live in an area that is heavily treed and often get wind storms that take out our power. With a land line, you always have phone service. I make it a practice to communicate, stay in touch, and regularly call people just to say "how are you doing" or "miss chatting with you." No matter how busy I am, this is crucial.
