My memory has deteriorated SO MUCH since my mid forties that I don't trust my memory unless I can "see" it. They say seeing is believing!<br /><br />Then I realized I could still use a pencil instead. That works for me. So now what invention? It has to be the telephone. My sister lives over 2000 miles away and I absolutely positively love being able to speak with her. Mind you, with the advent of Skype on a personal computer, that would be covered, but I realize we wouldn't have the computer without the phone technology in the first place, so that's a moot point.<br /><br />Yup, I'll go with the phone, Watson!Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-89870426130196375082012-08-30T10:33:19.052-04:002012-08-30T10:33:19.052-04:00Jillian...I didn't realize you won RWA Golden ...Jillian...I didn't realize you won RWA Golden Heart for An Affair with Mr. Kennedy. I have that book on my TBR shelf waiting for the release of the remaining books before I start to read them. Maybe I'll start it sooner.<br /><br />I love the time period your writing about. So many outstanding inventions that totally make our lives easier today. My favorites? Coca Cola, Salt Water Taffy and Popcorn machine. You can see where my hearts is, can't you? And of course, the telephone. I spent 23 years of my life working for Michigan Bell Telephone Co. I owe a lot to that invention!

Out of all the inventions mentioned I will have to go with telephone although actually talking to someone on the phone is starting to become rare. My next favorite would be the phonograph since I love music.Loves 2 Read Romance - Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-2321875559853228312012-08-27T18:47:45.884-04:002012-08-27T18:47:45.884-04:00Thanks bn 100,

I scour the internet for tidbits like: Which parts of London got electricity first, and what did the first British desk telephones look like? <br /><br />You know how much it means to me that you enjoyed An Affair with Mr. Kennedy. I do hope you also enjoy Rafe and Fanny's adventure/romance! G.

Now, as for favorite inventions, a few of the above are, in my opinion, the best ones.<br /><br />1. The telephone. This way we can speak to our loved ones who are far and away from us, crossing oceans, and countries.<br /><br />2. Streetlights. Thank goodness for them lighting our way and keeping us, hopefully, safer at night. Without them, the streets would be inky dark, with who only knows what lurking about.<br /><br />3. The ballpoint pen. I was so glad when this came out. No more inky splotches on my fingers and clothes, caused from filling up my pen out of the inkwell at school.<br /><br />Thank you for this opportunity to win "A Dangerous Liaison with Detective Lewis". I thoroughly enjoyed "An Affair With Mr. Kennedy".Diane D - Floridahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09257503725180545601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3417651694294092310.post-7338659199831323372012-08-27T13:13:15.842-04:002012-08-27T13:13:15.842-04:00Great Post.
