Hi, Debbie,

I’m interested in finding out more about the Wayaround app.  I listen to Rick’s 
countdown every week and have also listened toyour country show on occasion.  I 
want some kind of labeling system which will be reliable.  I usually pin on 
color tags or buttons but they come off in the washing machine and I get 
confused with colors.  I have been using Tap Tap See and Seeing AI to get the 
colors of clothing items but am not sure if I am doing it accurately.  Any help 
would be appreciated.
