Phone Hook Up

We have an internet land line both in Florida and New Hamburg that comes in a box.  We have to bring it back and forth from Florida.  I thought we had all the cables in both places.  So I left one of the cables in Florida that we needed to hook it up when we got back to Canada.  When the cable guy came to the house to hook up our internet Barb still couldn't use the phone.  She almost decided to wake me up before going to pickleball in the morning but instead she left a note and I found an appropriate cable in my collection to hook up the phone when I woke up.
