Oh, grandms, I thank you. I am having a good time putting together pictures of folks who have passed on and I miss.I feel this is the year I honor them on Pinterest of all places. Un huh. One of my boards is for them. It's that sort of thing. I need to connect and ressurect them. Hope you know what Pinterest is. Oh, that CC. I hope I am in good shape. Life goes on with a little helo from my friends ps: I rmember in the late 1970s and the company I worked for had a new OCR machine. That thing was a disaster and yet state of the art. Numbers where there were supposed to be letters and really no help at all. Now I have a scanner for $9 and change if you read above. Guess that was 32 years ago at least. Seems like yesterday. Ha ha. Thanks again for you good wishes.

You didn't report what O/S you are using and at seven years it could be one of several. Be sure to read the system requirements on any item you are considering. I use to personally promote for various reasons individual peripherals rather than all-in-ones. However, now that the prices for AIOs are much more reasonable I only suggest them. Having two peripherals capable of printing is a great convenience too. I have my printer configured to Fast Draft Greyscale for all my general printing and my AIO configured for quality printing. The tandem saves ink and to switch between the two is quite easy. As a reminder, before you buy be aware of the cost for replacement ink cartridges. I have heard and read too many disappointments from users on that issue. DA

I have two Canon Printer/scanners. Both Pixma models (approx $120.00). They came with OmniPage SE free. This is an optical scanning software which is so easy to use. I use this heavily in my work (medical insurance). It scans documents into Word, where you can edit. Or you can edit right in the software itself. I love this software. I believe it comes with every Canon Printer/scanner. Jane

OK, The pavers are done, and salt is in the pool. I am putting stone to match the house on all of the retaining walls myself in the next few weeks, then I will cap them off with bricks that match the house. Finish grading and clean up is tomorrow. I then have plenty of planters (4) to landscape too. Overall A&S was fine to work with. Like I was told in the beginning, their on site management could be better. Sometimes it seems they would rather have the subs do something wrong, and then fix it later, than to just keep a project manager at the site more often. But, they did respond quickly to all of my requests and changes. And I am a picky person when it comes to projects like these. Anyhow, I appreciate all of the ideas, suggestions, and comments from you guys and gals. Here are some photos. I will post others after the stone is on the walls and the landscaping is in. (BTW, the pavers are Dublin's Potomac 3 peice, and the water is very dirty from all of the paver dust... it actually is a much crisper blue than is appearing here)
