Blog vs Instagram's Instantness

It has been a month since I blogged?  Weeks since I journaled.  Days since I exercised.  Only two days since Instagramming.  Faster, easier.  This blogging takes more effort, plugging in camera, downloading, filing...

John & I did go out this morning---NOT shopping, but walking our neighborhood route.  I forgot to put on my fitbit, so that is 4,000+ steps plus 11 flights of stairs unrecorded.  We are trying to be healthier.

This photo is from the Trunk or Treat night at Church.  We went with Day of the Dead theme, sugar skull makeup, dark suits with fedoras for the guys, flowers in our hair and black lace for Roxie & I.  The lip temporary tattoos were cheater makeup, easier to stick & stay on our lips through a chili cook-off meal.  I loved the "Book of Life" film with the culture of remembering family dead.

My little friend, 18 month old King Henry did not recognize us.  When we talked to him, he gave a startled 2nd look.  Didn't try to hold him...

For a "trick" gift I made skull earrings to pass out to the young women.  Erasers from Target were the perfect softness to push in and glue the earring findings.
