You make it look so easy! This is a great article/post for all those who want to show off their amazing garden arrangements.I agree with you, I think the roses draw my attention the most. Thank you for sharing the tips! Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Design

Be very careful about committing your only copies of financial records to digital. Someone above suggested copying onto rewritable CDs (CD-RW) to allow you to add to what's on there. Be aware that CD-RWs typically have significantly shorter lifespans than "write-once" CDs (CD-Rs). You could run into trouble a few years down the line when you try to retrieve some info and find out that the disc is corrupted and what you want is not retrievable. Burnable CDs also are a textbook example of getting what you pay for. The spindle of 100 CDs that is "free after rebate" at your local electronics superstore typically is of very low quality, and I would not depend on them to keep anything beyond 6-12 months. They may make it that long. But I sure wouldn't put all two copies of important documents on such low-quality discs. Finally, there is the file format of the disc and files themselves. The scrapheap of history is littered with storage technologies that were made obsolete by size, low capacity, or bankruptcy. While Microsoft's dominance now seems to ensure some longevity, at one time Microsoft was the David in the corner to other companies' Goliaths. What it comes down to is that scanning important documents may save you some paper, but it is not "set it and forget it". It will cause you additional work in transferring those files to new formats/applications/operating systems as years go by. If this is not something that interests you or seems like too much work for an activity that's supposed to save you effort, then you might just want to stuff file folders into a cabinet. I'm as big a computer geek as they come -- and that's what I do. Paper: simple, reasonably permanent, and eminently transportable.

gwanny2three, Ok, I have to ask "How did you put music on your frame, mine is Photoshare. Do you think I can put music on too? You can email me direct to tell me how you did yours, if you want. Do you think I can put the music on now after I have the pictures already on? Sorry, I ask dumb questions but .... I love it too!

There are OCR (optical character recognition) apps for the iPhone, and I'm sure for Android smartphones too. I tried one, "Image To Text". Installed it (free), took a picture of the article I was reading, the app emailed it to me in plain text, near-perfect recognition. See below, only two errors I notice. I imagine it will handle recipes too, though you might have to insert line breaks and indents and so on, before it's a fully formatted "recipe". "TOKYO Times are getting tougher for some of Japan's regional power monopolies KYUSHU and Kansai, Japan's two most .nuclear-dependent regions, are brac- ing for a bitter winter. Citizens of both ar- eas, many of them elderly, have been ad- vised that they may have to turn down the heating because of shortages of nuclear power. It will be another hardship in an al- ready trying year; after the March nth nuc- lear disaster they had to swelter through the summer with restrictions on air condi- tioning. But this time it is not just tepco, operator of the stricken nuclear power plant in Fukushima, that"
