  • Scanning Photos

    I want to add a bit about my scanning of the photo. I used my older but better Epson 2450 scanner to scan a few image sizes of Grandpa’s picture. I had to use it in Windows XP though because Epson has no support for any 64 bit system. I found out that to use…

  • Grandpa’s WW1 Picture New Size

    Dear Sisters I found that an 18 x 24 frame with a mat opening of 13.5 wide and 19.5 height would work with a larger image I can print on 17 x 22 paper. At least I can buy precut mats for an 18 x 24 inch frame with those dimensions. Whether those sized frames…

  • Subscribe to Posts – Site Feature

    I installed a new feature to this site a couple of weeks ago and have been using it to test it’s usefulness. If you have noticed “Subscribe to Posts” at the top of the site (bottom of the header) and/or on the sidebar, that is the link to the Page which controls the feature. You…

  • Testing Word 2010

    This is a post testing to see if Word 2010 works with WP to post correctly. Does this picture go to the correct space? It did, but then I had to resize it and reinsert it here to work right. Word 2010 doesn’t provide “sizing” like uploading photos to server from the WP Admin section…

  • The Willpower Parodox: Scientific American Mind August 2010 edition

    I just got done reading this magazine today and I found this article on willpower and motivation to be very interesting.  I thought all of you would gain some useful information from it as well. It is only 2 pages. By clicking on the picture it will open it to full sized view in a new window.…

  • Nook

    I got a Nook (Barnes & Noble eReader) for my birthday. It’s very nice. There are other eReaders out there, this one is open to ePub & PDF from anywhere (plus other formats, & music) and works nicely with Barnes & Noble online store. If any of you have a Nook, there is a feature…

  • Shoutbox help

    Marysue and Sharon,   Thank you for the Belated Birthday messages but I never received them in my email, I just noticed them in the shoutbox list today. Is there something wrong with my email setting? I am using Outlook 2007.

  • Field Genealogy Book Download

    A few years ago I downloaded the Field Genealogy book from a genealogy site I can access with my library card number. I had to download it in sections. I combined the pdf files. It was too large, 1390 pages and a 119 MB file. So I deleted most of the pages and left the…

  • Pre-Revolutionary Dutch Houses in New Jersey and New York Field-Van Vechten-Pool Families

    Dear Sisters I bought this book, Dutch Houses a few years ago. It was published in the 1930’s but only had one printing. This book is a Dover reprint from the 1950’s and it costs a bundle if you can find a copy. It is a paper book but a very good quality. There are…

  • Victorian Beaded Purses from 1901

    I am selling a Home Needlework Magazine that has 20 crochet beaded purse patterns and 2 color plates showing many of them. I thought you all would like to see the pictures. Click to see a larger one. The top picture has 2 purses that have gold (brass) angels in the center.   Just a…
