HAPPY THINGS:

1. Starbucks Citrus Defender White Tea (with lemonade and honey)

2. Dreaming of travel to Europe

3. Paint nite at LaLe

I tried out the latest group activity craze - it was fun to come out of this two hour paint and (eating/drinking) with a somewhat finished creation. It was a paint-by-number experience except you had to eyeball things that the instructor did.

AND watched: at community event

Finding Kukan (2016)
Director/Writer: Robin Lung
Writer: Shirley Thompson
Stars: Ling-Ai Li, Kelly Hu, Daniel Dae Kim
-Documentary | imdb | my rating: 5
FINDING KUKAN investigates the story of Chinese Hawaii-born Li Ling-Ai, the un-credited female producer of KUKAN, a 1941 Academy Award-winning color documentary about World War II China that has been lost for decades.

GREAT pick for Women's History Month as it reveals Li Ling-Ai and the scope of her involvement in the Oscar documentary film winner, Kukan. What a woman!

Check out their website (here) for a screening near you. And, be on the lookout as it will air on PBS soon.
