when driving with grandie f
he asked me
what a ‘party line’ was.
he said it was mentioned
in an article he was reading
and it advised him to
‘ask a grandma or google’
if he needed an explanation.
I think that was a brilliant suggestion
they understood
that between the two sources
we have most everything covered.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I suppose that’s good advice. I remember having a party line about 45 years ago – boy were you in trouble if you had a “talker” as one of the ‘parties’!!!!!

Grandma was such a great source of information and what did she see in her lifetime…. what will we see and what will be our witness? Great thought to begin my day. Thanks.

The best thing is that if she doesn’t immediately know the answer, grandma does know how to ask Google too. This one, though, Beth, we got covered, even though I think we probably only saw party lines on TV shows and never had them in our houses.

Fun post, Beth. Now instead of party lines we have Twitter, and everything else. LOL. Oh, and I wouldn’t recommend messing with Prince William’s grandmother either! Ha! Hugs.

Yes, we pretty much have that covered. If not, Google does. Of course Grandma’s answer is much more fun. 🙂
