1. Both are excellent additions to the self-sufficiency bookshelf.

Square-Foot Gardening is of course an excellent book for any beginning gardener. Perfect for gardening in small spaces.

2. Just wanted to let you know that you can scan a copy of a page of

a book or the front or back cover and it will come out beautiful. The pictures I have up on the thread here were taken with a camera before I remembered the old scanner trick so they are not as good as a scanned pic.

(ps you can scan a lot of things. I used to post pictures of my jewelry that I had scanned. You just put a plastic clear sheet over the scanner glass, pull the lid down almost to the jewelry and then cover the lid with a white cloth.


Here is an example:

3. I need to install scanning software on my computer which I will do next week

when I remember where I put it when I move a year and a half ago.

I have been busy getting stuff together for a yard sale-and helping the couple that were poisoned from the former meth lab where the county did not test the mobile homes on the property (as required by law) and then 8 months later he bulldozed them and set them on fire. At least with my house, I know the house is okay, it is the shed that is most likely toxic...

I had my scanner hooked up on my old computer, this computer has its own software for a scanner, but I am having a hard time figuring out how to use it.

I also have to learn how to download a new browser if I want to sell stuff on ebay since Paypal will no longer accept Safari.

Too much for my overwhelmed brain to handle at this point and short term memory deficits/pain make learning new tech stuff a tad more difficult. :)

Too much on my plate this week!
