I completed for task #117 A sandy beach.


Does this work for a blue dress, task 108? The girl in the corner is wearing blue. If it does, I'll take it.

[Jan, Moderator]

Thanks for the update Kathryn. I'm not feeling like this works for the blue dress though since all I can see is the arm. Sorry!

[Kathryn]

OK, I'll check back later if I have something that works

Thanks Dee! Will add you to the list.

Glad you enjoyed your book Teri. I'm going to say no. I don't really think it's a dress she's wearing.

That's fine. I think it's more of a robe, but I thought I'd check. :)

Next item:

Police car/station/box

[Jan, Moderator]

Thanks Rosa! I have to ask....what's a police box?

[Jillian]

Jan, I had to google it. It is like a telephone booth but for police.

This is from Wikipedia "A police box is a public telephone kiosk or callbox for the use of members of the police, or for members of the public to contact the police. It was introduced in the United States in 1877 and was used in the United Kingdom throughout the 20th century from the early 1920s.[1] Unlike an ordinary callbox, its telephone was located behind a hinged door so it could be used from the outside, and the interior of the box was, in effect, a miniature police station for use by police officers to read and fill in reports, take meal breaks and even temporarily hold prisoners until the arrival of transport. "

[Jan, Moderator]

Thanks Jillian! I'm going to see if I can find images.

[Jan, Moderator]

And I found some!! Learned something new :)

[Jillian]

Me too!

[Jan, Moderator]

The most interesting thing in your blurb was that it was introduced in the US and we didn't even know what they were. I've never seen one here.

[Jillian]

I just asked my husband. He knew what it was and was surprised I didn't. I guess people who watch Dr. Who know what they are.

[[deleted user]]

Jillian's husband saved your honor, ladies ;)

[Barb]

I don't even see telephone booths around anymore. There's a whole generation growing up that won't have a clue what they are, which boggles my mind :)

[Jillian]

It made me feel old when I was reading a book to my kids and I had to explain to them what a telephone cord was.

[[deleted user]]

Finished my couple #114 City Boy nice romance with very little angst, right as I like it

[Jan, Moderator]

That was fast Rosa! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[Karen]

Push button phones came into mainstream popularity as my kids were growing up. I am always way behind the curve so when their friends would come over and ask to use the phone to touch base with their moms, I would send them to the kitchen phone (the only phone) where they would stop dead and stare at the dial, having no idea how to make it work! That came up in many conversations for many, many years after that! My kitchen phone (one of two that I own now) is now pushbutton but still has a cord dangling from it! Way behind the curve. :)

[Jan, Moderator]

Karen - do you still have the dial phone?? They are coming back in style being vintage. It might be even worth something...lol.
