Taking the Plunge Again
Chance II While we believe that we need to continue to return here to Sunshine RV Resort, we are not thinking of being here in south Texas full-time.

HOMELESS!

The older the thing I would suppose the higher the chance of something breaking is. That certainly seems to be true for me. And it is true of Chance. … Continue reading BREAKDOWN
