Enjoy your birthday celebratios, Dr. Lori!
I hope your birthday was grand 🎉🥳
I go by 5's ~ so for the last half a decade I've been 55 and then on my double nickles birthday this summer I'll jump to 60 for 5 years. I am frequently told I look 10 years younger! Pffft. Teehee
Happy Birthday & many more. 🎂
Happy 26th! 🎉 Dr Lori, you entertain, inform and inspire me! I enjoy seeing your posts on my Facebook feed. I watch your videos on Utube almost daily. I feel like you've become a dear friend. I hope your birthday was fabulous!
I’m happy here and now .. it’s my birthday today too 😊
Happy birthday, Dr Lori 🎊🎈🎉🎂
I'm going to muse about what was my favorite age . I'm 78, pretty healthy, happily in love with my husband for 57 years. We and our family members have had difficult and trying times and some health challenges. We all love one another dearly though we don't always get all of us together. It's a little like herding cats. So, we go to visit them. Our grandchildren are grown up and on their own except for the youngest who will graduate high school this year...
Love that idea! Also bought the Queens watch as you did!
Well chosen! I always said I'd lie about my age, but inconsistently, just choosing the age I feel in the moment when asked.
Happy 26th Dr Lori! Hoping you have a wonderful 😊 Happy Birthday filled with much JOY and happiness 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊! I love that idea of picking your favorite year! I am going to put some thought into this and pick a good one for myself👍🏼!
