I did that in the early 90s. We still had a party line up until somewhere around when I graduated in 92.

I bet every party line had a Mrs. Jenkins... " I need to use the phone, you need to cut it short and let others make a call"

Keep looking forward. That’s why windshields are larger than rear view mirrors.

Too cool. At the farm my grandma and papaw lived on in south Texas it was 2 longs and a short.
I can still hear my papaw hollering at grandma “ 2 longs and a short, Estah, that’s us!”

Brings back some real fond memories of peaceful times listing to the rymthic creaking of the long stroke windmill and mourning doves calling from the mesquite trees. Most relaxing peaceful memories I can think of sitting out on the front porch of that old un-airconditioned farm house.

With the skeleton key door locks, those phone jacks like pictured above, and the woven fabric covered electric cables stapled to the walls for the single bulb electric lights hanging down from the ceiling.

The outhouse was still standing out back from before they got indoor plumbing. And grandmas pressure cooker quail and gravy for Sunday dinners in the fall and winter. I’d give about anything to be able to go back and re-live those days once in a while.

Yep, remember them well except ours was hard wired. Our phone number was WE5-3913. Then they replaced the WE with 93. Years later we got a 214 area code and later changed to a 903 area code.

I recall being able to just dial last 4 numbers if the other person had the same area prefix (xxx-). At least it was that way in LaGrange about 1972. Also had a party line back then.
