We know you’ll enjoy watching our troupe of aging actors, bent on living their lives to the max. We feel that the process of aging doesn’t have to be difficult when we can just laugh at the funny stuff - including all of the “smart” gadgets that seem to be taking over! Ah, the conveniences of living and being a senior in the 21st Century with TECH-nology!
Story synopsis:
Last year the Jewels had an auction to raise funds to replace children’s size toilets with adult size ones. They came up with enough money to buy the necessary replacements. But…those “Smart Toilets” aren’t as smart as they thought they would be. There are weird sounds coming from them, and wacky plumbing issues which need to be corrected. They really need some professional help.
Ah, the conveniences of living in the 21st Century.

She's borrowed an old bus and arranged for each child to spend Christmas with a family in the area. The only problem is, she hasn't told the busybodies on the orphanage board of trustees.
