What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Marion

We live in the country. we are folks that take care of ourselves and each other. We burn our trash. We shovel each other's walk, if needed. We help each other with lawn things, such as spreading dirt. We enjoy going to Texas Roadhouse or Chili's (before Corona). It's enjoyable to go to my mother-in-law's every other Sunday for a full home cooked meal.

We like going to parks and out to eat and just having fun together jsjsjjshhshzhsbhzhshhshshshhshshhshs
