The storyboards have been in place fo...

When we are at the beach during our camping stays I'm always picking up stones and telling my family about stories I see in the rock. I've always loved doing this so for approximately two years I've wanted a rock tumbler so I could polish up some of my best stories.Why two years? I had asked a lo...
