Marie's Musings

My son’s printer stopped working and mine certainly wasn’t doing a very good job so we took a trip to Future Shop and BOTH bought new printers. Of course, he got one that cost twice as much as mine but I am very pleased with the results anyway. Since he was able to install his printer on his own I felt I should be able to do that too. All I can say is that I got my exercise for the week that day. Knee bends, weight lifting, touching toes, stretching, bending and tearing out hair. Had it all ready to hook up to the computer and found out the clerk had sold me the wrong USB. So the next day I had my exercise walking to the corner and climbing on and off buses as well. But, VOILA, I now have a working printer and a beautiful job it is doing.

I was surprised to find that today’s printers come with scanners (at no extra cost) which I am finding very handy. My thought is to take three-quarters of a century, plus, worth of snapshots and transfer them to CD’s which should eliminate a couple of cartons of albums the next time I move to say nothing of cleared space that I can clutter up with keepsakes and ornaments. I sorta figure it will take me the rest of my life to do them all but I will be enjoying the thought of clearing some space so I can begin to clutter it again.

Here are a couple of snapshots, one of my great-grandmother and I on the verandah of the house I was brought up in and the other with my friend’s dog in their driveway.
