Mr Anderson, Mr Larry and Mr Arty. We picked from the nursing home and brought him to event. Mr Arty has been in a nursing home for almost a year and has not been able to leave except hospitals and/or doctor's appointments. He wanted to cook like he did in the past and I told him no; he did work by putting hotdogs on the buns for the folks. I usually visit him once a break and bring my sidekick Andrew with me when I go. We got to know alot of others in the nursing home and Andrew loves to ask questions.

This time I had Nicholas and Mommy had Andrew for the different age groups.
