You have reached a non-working number... downsizing 101

Remember these phones?

and these phones?

We traded them all for this phone.

A "house phone" we can take everywhere!

We haven't really downsized yet.

Although my kids are 26, 24 and 22,

and they are in places of their own - much of their "stuff" is still here!

It's difficult for me to pack up beautiful dolls that belong at "tea parties."
Jason's Garfield books are still displayed in a bedroom bookcase.
~so many memories~

~ But ~

it wasn't difficult for me to pack up all those phones

and say good-bye to a phone number we've had for 23 years.

Even though we are on the "governor's no call list,"

we still get nuisance calls.

Sometimes Caller ID said -0- is calling

Sometimes it was for "Claudette" who has creditors looking for her...whoever she is!

You get the picture!

Then,

there's the cable bill!

We had the "all-in-one" package from Time Warner.

...cable, internet and phone...

It was a bargain the first year.

$102 for all three!

For the past two years, the price has gone up every six months.

I've had to renegotiate...over and over.

This month- it was about to go up to $142...they would not renegotiate.

So... off we went last Saturday to turn in the BIG extras.

We are down to basic cable (channels 2-25 with 76, 77, 78 thrown in)

Channel 76 is National Geographic - which is nice...

and high speed internet.

This is what we used to have.

I don't miss ALL the news ALL day.

With the internet,

I don't miss television.

With my cellphone,

I don't miss the house phone.

I love staying connected

to family

to friends

to the world

I hope you're having a wonderful weekend dear ♥'s
