AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young

We had a little bit of excitement when we tried to get into our motor home this week. The lock had broken and we couldn’t get in. Brevard Lock and Key saved the day. Bryan got us in, but the whole lock will need to be replaced. It could have been worse. We could have been in it and unable to get out.
