    BassetHoundAnn, thank you for posting this! I just got a couple of posts done that I logged onto share with the group and I see that you gave such a cool shout out!

    I really, really appreciate that. Our next film festival is in Vero Beach, June 7 - 11, is that anywhere close to you? It would be cool to meet up!

    Hi, Lickety! I can't wait to see your remarkable film! Alas, I live up in Wisconsin. And don't drive except for Depends runs and driving my mom to the doctor (assuming I can get her into the car). But I'm hoping your film comes to Netflix soon!

    Thank you for telling our story!!

    I watched the documentary Wine, Women and Dementia yesterday during the Limited Time Be Our Guest Screening. I thought it was wonderfully done, relatable and informative. The documentary is accurate, bleak (at times) and sadly hilarious. The message to caregivers about building a community of support is so critical and it came through loud and clear.

    Cheers to Lickety for a job very well done.
