OOC:
Johnny remembers that Dave, the nurse at Sunny Haven, mentioned that Ramon was at that Rest Home for 12-13 years.
The fountain is probably 5 years old, a pretty new landmark in the small town.
Fast forward to the barbecue. Johnny's Aunts and their boyfriends are gathered in the backyard, and Roger has done a good job of prepping and cooking on the grill. The smell is delicious, and everyone is enjoying grilled corn and juicy burgers in hot buns. The sun is hot and the sodas are fresh, from a bucket full of ice against the fence. The hunters are having a good time eating the juicy food.

"Don't get any ideas... I'm not walking any pets, if you get one!"

Aunt Mary
"So glad you invited your new friends around, Johnny!"
Harold, Mary's bf
"Yeah. So that Library summer program is going well? Mary told me you started."
Aunt Mary
"He did - and he started volunteering at that Rest Home too, our Johnny!" she says with pride.
"What's it called, again?"
