      7. You’re very much welcome!😊 Too bad I’m actually not on Instagram because I’m not a huge fan of social media and I’m not very good at taking pictures.😆 I do have Instagram on my phone though because a friend of mine who tried to convince me to join installed the app.😆 But now might be a good time to be on Instagram. I’ll tell you once I have an account.😊
