May I have your order?

David and I have never bought new phones for our home. We've always found used ones that have worked fine. We've been using the same cordless/digital answering machine phone for the past 5 years. But our used phone upstairs has been dying. I've always dreamed of having the kind of phone where you have one main base then a few extra handsets that go with it. I know, I'm a nerd.

Anyway, one day on a whim I looked them up on Craigslist, found a set for $20, bought them and love them. Had I known I could find a set for $20 I would have bought them years ago! My dreams are now fulfilled.

After we got them home, I was investigating and realized there was an intercom function on them. What??? You mean I could call handset to handset??? TOO COOL.

So for the next few hours we played constantly with them; David, Cyrena and I while Natalie was napping. We mostly played restaurant as you can see from the pictures below. Cyrena went to her picnic table outside, called my handset to make an order, then David delivered it to her. It was pretty darn entertaining. I told David it was like the old days at Training Table in Provo--there's something about ordering food on a phone that just makes it more fun.

Pure genius these 'phone makers', pure genius!
