My Scanner Works!

Let me say it again, My Scanner Works!

We got a new computer in February, and I have a scanner from 2003 that I was hoping to use with it. I’ll skip the details and say simply that I thought it was hopeless getting the two to work together—a couple mornings ago as I lay in bed waiting for my alarm to go off I thought of one last thing to try. But I forgot to try yesterday.

I just sat down here this Friday afternoon to write another travel story for The Franklin Chronicle (and three other weeklies in Southwest, Ohio) that I also post to my other blog www.ournationstreasures.blogspot.com , when I thought to try what came to me in the early morning mist of my mind two days ago.

And it worked!

The story I submitted this week (to be in next week’s paper—but it’s already posted to my other blog) is one with no pictures.

So I interrupted my reminiscences of Maine, about which I’m writing, to write this blog entry because I am so happy.
