Thanks, B.D.  That's exactly what I hoped the photos would show.  The adult 
day care should be a depressing place but every time I photograph there, I 
feel good about the care that the people are receiving.  There is such a 
world of difference in these places and it has nothing to do with the 
facility or amount of money spent and everything to do with the caretakers 
who really like what they are doing and care about the people.  The game 
they were playing only required two straws, a wad of paper, and a piece of 
masking tape, but they were having a blast and exercising their lungs at 
the same time.  I also photographed in an upscale, expensive "retirement 
community".  Now that was depressing!!  Everybody sat in reclining chairs 
in front of a big screen tv showing game shows all day.  My idea of a 
retirement from hell.
