  1. WhatsApp (great way to stay in touch with S2; the video function is more reliable than Google Hangouts)
  2. Maps
  3. FB (these days, mostly for private groups of friends, quilting and genealogy, and to swap articles of interest with S2)
  4. Camera
  5. Twitter (mostly follow, don’t post much, easy to pass articles to S2)
  6. Instagram (mainly to look at S2’s pics, though he also posts some on What’sApp, FB and Twitter)

Yes, there is a theme – S2 is 5,000 miles away and he is being really great about staying in touch and sharing his life (within reason; there are some things I DO NOT want to know). I’m willing to meet him where he is, and so I’m on Twitter and Insta more than I would otherwise be.

Oh yeah Google translate was indispensible when we were in Hong Kong. I still use it surprisingly often. The last time was trying to figure out if mystery bottle was indeed sake. Scrabble stopped working on my old phone, I should see if I can get it to work on the current one.

So do your favorite apps tell your story? Your interests? I think mine do largely. Fitness, food, reading.
