This post is all about my new best friend the Kindle. The Kindle was an impulse purchase last year (as are […]
Lets see how far this attempt to blog goes on! I had started once before and had given it up due to, well… dont remember why. Guess, this requires more dedication and commitment than I had been willing to spend at that time! Here it is then, another attempt to blog! Hello and welcome! 🙂
