Hope you enjoy your visit to the valley Miss you and the PTL gang
I don't want to watch the video, just tell me here.
Where I met you. A pleasant surprise 😮. Hope to see you again sometime! I just watched & you showed the orange poppy temperware plates that I bought.
The saw really surprised me.
Wow Dr. Lori , The work you have done is very apparent, the picture by the cart shows all the hard work! You look so good, xo
Thank you for sharing your hard earned knowledge with us all! God bless 🙏💞
Do you really need to wear the gloves, seems over dramatic
That’s funny I just bought that Spode plate from my goodwill for $1.99. Love it.
Ill meet u there next time!
Always great information.
The saw surprised me! Nice!
I have several of these hand painted saws in storage. I didn’t know they would be worth much!
Ugh! Only an hour from me! 👍🏻

That combo is very pretty!
Those flowers are beautiful!…
Flowers will be dead by Christmas! For real bouquets hold off. Here's our tree
Beautiful 😍 🤩
It would be a difficult decision.There is so many different directions. The fresh flowers look beautiful.
Ours isnt up yet either. I have a wreath theme as my decorations for the front yard this year and I am getting them all at goodwill here in BV, AR. Every time I see one, I nab it to add to another tree or what not, and guess wear I will have donated them back too when I'm finished! 😁
So pretty!

Update on #medical and #media appearances. Still behind on #holiday #shopping and wrapping. ... See MoreSee Less
I know I will get a Stye really fast when I use mascara for a period of time. It can be a brand new tube and bingo...Stye! I rarely wear mascara unless its a special occasion. Glad yours is getting better!
Glad the eye is doing better! Been a rough year!
I always do what my grandma did and she was a Dr in her day of herbal natural medicine and owned a huge nursing home. She used to take a slice of white bread and tear out a circle from the middle then she would use that center piece without any crust and put warm milk on it then she would make us an eye patch and we'd go to bed. In the morning it would be better. We always did that right away before it got bad tho. Once I had to do a patch 3 nights in a row.
Yippy so glad for you!!!
❤️
Your eye looks so much better!!
So thankful to hear this praise!!!!!! Prayers continue for complete healing!!!
Great news! 👀👀
Fun! Glad eye is getting better. You look great!

Almost missed national cookie day. Here are my all time favorite Italian cookies: anginettes and pignoles. My mom made them best. #food #cookie ... See MoreSee Less
Yum….
YUM
They look good.
I've never seen cookies like that on the right!!!!!😶🇺🇸🌎
I used to love the anise cookies my mother made. Stella Dora Angionett? Cookies were my favorite. Spelling is not my strong suit. But they were Italian airy, puffy lemon cookies.I just looked and you spelled, exactly what I was referring to , and never could pronounce:)?Do you ever make Pizzelles?
I've never tried those. But, they look delicious 😋
Ah, Pignoles are my all-time favorite!!!!
LOVE the anginettes!!!! My Mom and grandmother made them, sadly I never got their recipe. I try to make them every year, however, they just never taste like my Mom's. ♥
Anginettes! I make them every Christmas. I use the red, white, and green sprinkles. So delicious and festive!
Just so they are not antique cookies. A friend of mine had some vintage seasonal cookies! I finally convinced him to get rid of them. I hope they had no monetary value>! Those look very good!
Cookies look delicious. Good job.
I like oatmeal raisin cookies, the healthier cookie 🤣
Nobody made cookies like our Mom's 🥰.
Precious memories! 💐❤️🐴r.t.
Love them both. I have an elderly Italian neighbor who is the absolute best baker and cook ever!
Oh no I missed it. I will have to make up for it now.
Give me a Toll House Chocolate Chop cookie and a glass of milk and I am satisfied....well make it two or three cookies.....no more than 4.....well ok 5 if you insist.
Those look delicious but I never heard of either one!😂
Christmas love on a plate...❤️
I like most cookies, especially at Christmas.
I love Russian tea cakes.
I love anginettes and almond paste cookies.
They look very good I've never tried either.
I never heard of either of these cookies, I need to look them up! Thanks! 😊
I love peanut butter cookies 🍪 😋 yum

Shopping makes you hungry. Tempting but not worth it after all my hard work. #food #diet ... See MoreSee Less
Good for you but that looks yummy! Salad it is right!
You look terrific!
Maybe just half of it 🤷♀️
Good Girl! (Assuming you didn't eat it OR ate in moderation) it would make you feel yucky anyways!
I don't think I could resist. Good for you!!!
Not that bad, if you don't eat the bun.
they say staring at it is satisfying eough. Or wait until you get home and devour a big salad?
Ummmmm I think it would taste pretty good!!!
Tempting is putting it mildly, the first year is the toughest!, I almost cried when I could not have the food I loved, but the reward of breathing better & feeling better & bonus of looking better soon out weighted the urge,It does get easy & I also found myself craving salads & veggies! Now I can splurge & when I do I can only eat half of a burger like that, So proud of you for sticking to your guns! xo
That looks awesome and great healthy
A good thing that helps is to pick 1 day out of the month. All month the things you'd like to cheat with... save it for cheat day. By the time the day gets here pick a 10/10 that you wanted during the month and eat that. 🤷🫶
You’re doing great 😊 keep it up
You got this! You are worth the work. And the work is worth the result. 💯
Looks delicious 😋 😍
Yum
Looks good.. love cheese 🧀 😋
Enjoy
Good job resisting you have worked too hard for that to even taste good!
Good for you Lori!! Stay strong
That made me hungry. I want a burger too. I didn’t even know The Cheesecake Factory sold hot food. Or did you settle for this instead of cheesecake? You deserve whatever your heart desires. You know what to got the other day when I wanted expensive cheesecake? 👀 lookey..
Oh my gosh, how many pieces of cheese? You should be careful how much you eat
You go girl... so proud 👏 of you!
So.....did you eat it?
