Another odd bit… yesterday our phone went out about 6 p.m. (This happens occasionally out here in the sticks, so we didn’t give it too much thought.) But… at exactly midnight, I happened to be in the bedroom and suddenly heard that loud beeping when the phone is off the hook. Had the phone JUST been off the hook we would have heard the beeping earlier. WHY had the bedroom phone fallen off a nightstand – it would have been a trick even for our dogs to do that inadvertently. I like the idea that we created it that way so we’d know that the phone line was back in working order again. Hey – it’s my life – I make it up as I go along. *grin*
