ReplyDeletelove the pic as well...
happy tt betsy!
It takes a while to do a long one like that!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Harrison Fisher:-)...He had so many great illustrations and paintings.....Also love the play on Alexander G. Bell..
ReplyDeleteBrian and Otin ~ actually, I had trouble! All the telephone words start with "C"...call, carrier, cell, circle, cord, candlestick model, crank-up,.... ha-ha!
ReplyDeleteReally clever!! I don't think I have it in me to play!!

Blondie ~ sure you do! You don't have to do an acrostic. You can do anything that you want...just a picture, a quote, poem, short story or just your thoughts on the word. There are no rules or limits! It's fun!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the picture!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with Blondie, to hard. But I love reading yours.
Im going to have to try that. My brain needs some more sophisticated activities to focus on than moon sand.
ReplyDeleteI like "give me a hollar"! :^)
ReplyDeleteThat took some WORK chick!!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff!
Here's my holler out to you! That;s one big thingmajiggy acronymmy or whatever that's called. :)
ReplyDeleteMmm ~ It's acrostic. You always want to add those multiple mmm's to everything, don't you! hee-hee!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, Betsy!
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea! Happy TT
ReplyDeleteYou always do so well on this theme, all the words you come up with!;)
ReplyDeletexo
Great job!
ReplyDeletelove the rotary dials...inlaws have one and i make it a point to use it whenever i make a call from there. Good long acrostic there, Happy TT
ReplyDeleteTom ~ me, too! Although I haven't used one in a long time. Love that clicking sound as the dial rolls back.
ReplyDeleteIf you had championed the claims of the Italian Meucci to being the real inventor of the telephone you could have saved a lot of work. But we would have been denied the acrostic. Smashing post. Happy TT
ReplyDeletegreat post, as usual Betsy....so do you work on crossword puzzles all day???? Bet you can finish one in minutes!
ReplyDeleteAlan ~ or Elisha Gray! There are several who claim to be the real inventor!
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm amazed you could come up with enough words for that one. Great post!
ReplyDeletelanguorous illustration and very cute to use Alexander Graham Bell instead of the obvious.
ReplyDeleteGreat acrostic, Betsy! Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteThat was impressive!
ReplyDeleteGreat take! Interesting choice, as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing at how you sneaked that "x" in there, Betsy.
ReplyDeletePerfect!!!! You are fantastic!!! Also, love the art...and your new header is simply stunning!!!! Wow! So much to revel in here today!!! ~Janine XO
ReplyDeleteNow you got me trying to remember what the first phone message was... gonna have to Google it.
ReplyDeleteJeffscape ~ It's "Mr. Watson, come here! I want to see you!" :)
ReplyDeleteSo ingenius! Great take on the theme!
ReplyDeletegreat job!
ReplyDeleteOoh you're so clever. Love your new header too!
ReplyDeleteShe looks tired.
ReplyDeletesuch a great illustration!
ReplyDeleteI like the older and I mean older phones that did not even have a dial on them. You can see them in the really old movies, it is where you had to keep pushing the clicker thingy until the operator came on and she made the call for you. And in some of the old movies you can see the switchboard operators and all the chaos that went on. Really different compared to todays phones.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
PS...and I too like how you got the x into there.
