Happy collector who won the highest bid on one of my painting in the silent auction after the Rivers Edge Golf Scramble. 100% of the proceeds donated to the continued fundraising for the Hubbard Lake Community Center!

Come visit Thunder Bay Arts Council & Gallery today and say hello! 123 W. Chisholm Street Alpena, Mi. Here is a new original oil painting I have added of what Mt. Maria looked liked in the past as you walked up to the lake overlook. Now it is a lovely site for a wedding venue hosted by Northwoods Event Company.

"I was recently a guest on The Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast with my two sisters! Together, we’ll reflect on our upbringing, caregiving experiences, and what it’s been like to share the care for over a decade. We’ll also dive into our current caregiving roles, including our care plan for our brother Tom, who lives with disabilities. Plus, we’ll talk about what self-care really looks like for us now. I encourage you to listen on your favorite podcast platform or this link provided. Please share with your caregiving friends."

In this milestone 200th episode of the Happy Healthy Caregiver podcast, I’m thrilled to share something extra special with you—I’m introducing two amazing people who mean the world to me: my sisters!

You may already be familiar with my older sister, Susie Morrell, who was our mom’s primary caregiver for many years and has been featured in two previous episodes. However, this is the first time you’ll meet my younger sister, Anne Woodbury, who has also been a part of our caregiving journey. 😊
