August 9th JimDaddy and I celebrated our 11th anniversary. Wow!

I first went to my SIL's baby shower,after that we took the kids over to Grandma Jenkins. (Thank You)

We went to the mall and I got a couple of new charms for a bracelet that I first got on our 5th anniversary...then we went to Black Angus for an early dinner (a friend from church gave us a gift card with a little bit left on it, thanks)It was so yummy... then we played mini golf... after that we stopped at home, then one more stop to the T-mobile store to get new phones.

All in all it was so much fun to be able to spend so much time together, no matter where we went. I am so blessed to have such a great man in my life. I love him!

Sorry no pics of that day.

Scanning software Frustrations

Well after picking up the scanner and taking boys to scouts...trying to get kids to take naps, I finally was able to try to get the super fast scanner set up(about 2:30). First things first I had to download software...link in my virtual office wasn't working so I called the consultant I rented it from, she got a new link sent to me. Thinking that was all I needed I tried and tried, but it still was not working.
Finally, to the relief of hungry and tired children, I put the super fast scanner away and got my regular one set back up. I was able to help one person scan pictures of her missionary son on my scanner, and the next day found out from the consultant I rented it from that the link that was sent to her, then me were only updates and I needed the base software.
I was actually relieved that I didn't have a ton of you here wanting to use the super fast scanner when it couldn't be used.

I have set up to have the super fast scanner back at my home the 27th & maybe 28th. This time the consultant I am renting it from is going come to make sure the software is installed and I am ready to scan before she leaves.

Get those pictures ready!

Do you have boxes of old family photos from before the digital era?

If you do, I'm sure you have more than you think.

Would love to have them digitized and preserved?

Here's you opportunity...August 20th will be scanning day at my home.
This is not just any scanner...Kodak has piloted with Heritage Makers to use these scanners...they do about 30 pics. a minute. Picture a fax machine set up, only instead of pulling papers through it's pulling your pictures through and scanning them.
