Sue Duffield, producer of the Aging Angst and Alleuias Podcast as well as newly appointed board member of the Veranda Ministries, takes her frivolity on-location broadcasting to one of the biggest days on the Veranda Calendar - Derby Day! Imagine staff and volunteers using wheeled walkers with inflated horses' heads attached, racing on the parking lot, creating howling applause and laughter by all attendees, especially those with dementia! This was a day filled with hee-haw-like joy, and this episode just gives a small glimpse into the world of dementia and the desperate need for those with cognitive impairment to have a day to be normal. As Barbara, one of the precious clients of the Veranda, says at the very end, "It's good for my brain. I love coming here."
