Phone Pics

I need to get into a routine with uploading pictures from my phone onto my computer because 

a) the camera on my phone takes really good pictures and

b) I find myself using my phone just as much as my big camera

Mabel and their little girl Xelly were buds 

and every time I walk by their house it makes me sad. 

We decided these two will be penpals. :)
