I was never a label or brand girl, but I see LV there. Dr. Lori do you remember home catalogs, Lillian Vernon? I wondered why I saw people carrying the LV bags but never saw any in the catalog? My purse collecting sister had to school me!!

Be careful, not too get heatstroke or dehydrate. Enjoy your trip. Europe has been the hottest , in five hundred years. I think I read that two years ago? You are looking good. So happy that you can enjoy yourself:)I’ve been to Paris, but never left the airport! At least I can say that I have been to France:) I got very sick , and couldn’t say a word. I had a bad sore throat:(
Wow
Have a great 4 th of July where ever you are
What a wonderful life you've got and you earned every day of it.
I love that you are knowledgeable about the Templar s. Can you show of video of your presentation?
Be careful and safe in that heat. Hydrate!!

I want to go to France, inthe 70's I purchased a beautiful oil of the main chapel dome and town. Enjoy
Those poor people in France. This has to be so hard on them. It's 95 in Jacksonville, FL right now, since I am a native Floridian, (with air conditioning!) I'm used to hot weather.
Sweat and shop in France, sounds like a blast 😂Enjoy

In the Middle Ages, the Knights Templar protected Christian pilgrims as they traveled to see the burial place, relics, and cathedral of Santiago (aka St. James) de Compostela in northwest Spain. Excited to be here. Lit candles for my late parents and family, bought shell souvenirs, experienced the holy place, visited the museum, gave thanks! #travel #knightstemplar #curseofoakisland #RitzCarltonYachtCollection #jewelry ...

Every year approximately 500K pilgrims walk@or ride the Way of St. James to arrive at the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain. About 1 hour from port city of A Coruna. See the inside of the cathedral with me. My Apple phone recorded my 16,000 steps. #knightstemplar #bible #santiago #travel ... See MoreSee Less

I walked the pilgrimage route (Way of St. James) to Santiago de Compostela, Spain today. Major reason I made this trip. The Knights Templar protected Christian pilgrims on this historic route in the Middle Ages. #travel #hiking #knightstemplar

Yes, I lend my knowledge of the Knights Templar history to the History channel’s #1 show #thecurseofoakisland
Gorgeous! As a high school choir we were selected to visit Mexico to sing among 5 other school across the US. As we toured we sang in many churches, the acoustics were amazing! For a poor country, the gold inside was magnificent ‼️
You are a lucky woman 🤗❤️
