    Favorite Apps

    ByMary Crozier December 29, 2016July 27, 2017

    I am probably not the most technological savvy person so I have to chuckle to think I am recommending apps to you!  However, I do have a few that I use and love.  You may already be familiar with them, but if not, here they are: Waterlogue  This app takes any photo and turns it…
