Mine is a CC4480(all in one). I think yours might be a new model.

If you just put the pix on the glass plate (pix side down), turn it on, there should be a scan button to just hit. As I am recalling my automatically are saved once scanned unless the scan/print button was selected

have your explorer button open (showing the files) to My Documents & see if something pops up there while the scan is finishing

had a mom distraction & so still havent gotten to the tub.. and yes Yorkie, I often have music, candles, wine etc.. I love frangrace as well as the salts in water. I dont have any fresh rosemary or lavendar (yet).. need to but pots & try to winter them over.

My dogs are dancing around by me.. (subtle hints, take us out mom)

I love all of J. Lawson’s things.. very clever & beautifully done. I wonder if she earns an income with it.. she charges 12/year for membership .. which I dont have...I am guessing a lot of these yearly memberships are sold. I have quite a few friends in NE Ohio who are her subscribers.

I almost have it figured out, in fact was able to send a picture to Fotki; the only problem is sizing; it showed up as a small picture surrounded by acres of white.;-)

So tomorrow when my brain is refreshed I will tackle this last obstacle.:)

[Billie]

Here you go - I converted it to a gif with a transparent background. :)

I received this in an email today. If you haven't seen/heard this beautiful rendition of the Battle Hymn of the Republic done by high school and grade school choirs, please click the link below. It takes a while for the music to start. It is worth the wait.

The Battle Hymn of the Republic, Music and Video

Thanks, Billie.

You may see me experimenting with it soon. :)

[Mama_Bear]

Thanks, Billie. It’s a cool graphic. I will save it. Never know when it might come in handy. I have a graphic of dogs playing in a sprinkler, it would work nicely with that.

Dolly, I have even used left-over perfume in my bath water (couple sprays or drops) if I don’t have salts. Juniper Breeze comes to mind.

Dogs and mom - all want their “Dolly’s” attention. (Ain’t it the truth?) Git in the bathroom, turn off the phone and lock the durned door! “Dolly Time!” LOL!

Enjoy it gurl fren! Accept no interruptions. C’ya tomorrow. (And, sweet dreams - from AZ to OH.)

Ping to post 2859. It was meant for you too, friend. Sorry, somehow your name got dropped off the ping list. I hate it when that happens!!

[JustAmy]

That was absolutely beautiful, Lori.

Thank you for sharing it with us tonight.

God Bless America.

[Mama_Bear]

I thought it was beautiful too. Glad you enjoyed it. The video is so well done and the singing is spirit-lifting. Very inspiring rendition of a beautiful hymn. :-)

[luvie]

Just.....wow....

Thanks for sharing that beautiful version of a wonderful song, MB!

[Mama_Bear]

You’re welcome. Pass it on. :-)

[luvie]

I shall! :D

Dolly, I have even used left-over perfume in my bath water

On a hot summer day, a cool-ish bath with sliced oranges/lemons/limes floating in the water is heaven.:)

[MozartLover]

That is a wonderful rendition..................made even more so by the sound of those young voices.:)

[Mama_Bear]

I’m glad you enjoyed it. :-)

[MozartLover]

My first attempt:

Ev & Katie, shortly before his first deployment.

lol, it's a little crooked.

I'll get better.:)

[Diver Dave]

Thanks for the link, MB. I love that arrangement and those students were fantastic.

I’ve sung this arrangement a few years ago in our church choir so I was singing right along with ‘em. It was actually incorporated into a musical we did called “This Side of Heaven”. Now I’m gonna have to dig out the VHS tape and watch the musical again.

The rest of the gang...................

Daughter Em, moi, son Jake, hubby.

At my m-i-l's house on Mother's Day.

That's enough for one day. My head hurts. Too much learning.;-)
