I finally found a suitable location for ravens tiny house in a quiet area mostly industrial. Effect anybody. Elvis and raven hoped this part of downtown l. A. Away from skid row would be safe from the authorities. With already hes a must continue to keep l. A. Streets clean finally. With a tiny. Feeling very good buy. A very. Good life drama a lot of fire going through a lot of hardship and so this tiny house the suburban house. After the week that shes had and everything shes gone through on top of the in fragments its more important now that she gets the house because i dont think she can go much longer with not get any rest.

Thats what we should do in life. To remember that you know you got things. You called me and said. You know people sit on the back porch and. Look at the stars they want looking up at the tar you know your hats are to see you sit not a bit tired but look at the stars its got a magic little bit. So finally raven gets her own private space.
