You'll take what you think you need and find that you use only half of it; or you'll find you should have packed something that now sits at home in… Continue reading PACK YOUR BAG!!!
I was gifted a Kindle Fire several years ago; something that was totally new to me at the time. I already had a different brand tablet and wasn't sure what I would do with the Kindle which was smaller than the one I had.

It was 1933, and Christmas was almost here. The girl stood on the rough porch attached to the small, unpainted house and stared out at the pouring rain. It had been raining for days.
