The letter N is featured today in the blogging A to z challenge. My post will be numbers — a nice, random collection of digits.

When I lived in Nebraska as a child, my phone number was 402-331-6864. When I lived on Shorewood as a teenager, my phone number was 815-741-1593. When my husband and I lived in Joliet, our number was 815-727-4444. Please don’t call any of these numbers. I won’t be the one to answer the phone!
