My full and kooky life as a homeschooling mommy to 2 great kids, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), coping with depression, following Jesus, and being much too camera happy.

      That’s a great sentence! Can I use that as my post title? I’ll edit and repost.

        Of course! I certainly didn’t invent the sentence 😆🥰

    I am old enough to remember these, only ours were in red and didn’t have a chair inside the booth. Woe is anyone standing in line to use the phone when someone could sit on a chair and talk for a while, provided they had enough dimes. 🙂 It’s probably a quarter now for three minutes. Mom always had me carry dimes in my wallet, four of them taped onto a thin piece of cardboard in the photo compartment in case the car broke down, or some other calamity, including a “date gone bad” (not that there were very many of those, good or bad) … the extra dimes were in case I dropped one and then couldn’t make the call in an era long ago!

      Tell me about it! This used to be how we made public phone calls with a chunk of change or if you were unlucky, you’d have to call the operator and make a collect call. lol That was eons ago, it seems.

      They are very rare to find these days! But these used to the way to communicate out in the wild.
