My Year in Review! 2025 was jam-packed so, I split the year in two parts. My appraisal comedy tour stopped in TX, WA, PA, FL, GA. Filmed vids at thrift stores nationwide. Helped get Pets adopted. Spoke at Penn State’s Art Museum. In-studio taping at ABC & CBS. Donated my Dad’s World War II baseballs to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. Thanks for spending 2025 with me. Stay tuned for part 2.
No comments on part 1 of 2025…maybe you’ll like part 2 better
Between the foot and the eye you've been a busy lady!
🌄. Good Morning! I just saw your Part I of 2025. It's a good thing you're young. Your first half of 2025 could fill a couple of notebooks. Look at what your education has done for you and so many others, including me. At age 78, your Part I itinerary is incomprehensible to me. You definitely are a people person and have much to share. You go girl! The best part of being older is that watching reruns of you feels like watching new content. The old brain doesn't hold info like it used to. Lovely, memorable people like you, stay in my heart forever. Happy New Year!
I think that whatever you do .. you do it well !! So grateful for you and your time you give to us at home thru your videos !! Happiest New Year for you filled with many Blessings !!
Diversified and fabulous! ❤️
There's just no stopping you now!
I love that I'm still learning at my age. Thank you for making it so much fun!!
Keep doing it your way🎶🎶💯. Happy New Year. I have enjoyed you in 2025. Lets.make 2026 better.👏🏽♥️❄️🎶💯🙏🏼☃️🙏🏼🐢🐢
Love your energy ✨️ and your smile 😃 Blessings to all...
Happy Pre-New Year, Doc!!
You are one busy lady!
Smart, busy, strong woman that's for sure! 🙂 We're watching 🙂 Dr. Lori, there's a new show on HGTV, Junk or Jackpot. Couldn't you do something like that, weekly! You would make it fun too 😉
Come back to WA! I have a few treasures I need your help with!
Awsome Dr. Lori you are doing Amazing things you go girl have fun in the sun 🌞
How is your eye?
Amazing!
At the airport—you should know which airport I’m in by my famous sandwich—grabbing a quick bite. Flight to sunny Florida is delayed by many hours!! Making the best of it with steak, provolone, and onions. Yum!
Where in FL? I live in Pompano and if you’re near would love to say hi. You did in home appraising for me over a decade ago in Boynton Beach when my parents passed. I recommend you to everyone!
Where are you going in Florida ?
No idea where you are and never heard of that brand but ….I am an Aussie fan so instead of guessing will just say I enjoy your vids and happy travels. I might add I am always trying to work out the US$ to Aust $ when you value something and can never get over prices. ( how cheap things are in the US)
Sounds delicious 😋 😍
phl
Philly?
We traveled 7 states over to watch our granddaughter play in the softball World Series in Melbourne, Florida! We have filled up an enclosed trailer with treasures, mostly swung vases! Our last day here is Thursday! Safe travels!
Safe travels Dr. Lori go have fun in the sun it's 🥶 in pa
Isn’t the wind postponing the flights out of PA?
Yumm, one of my favorite sandwiches , love the cheese steak, Lookin good Dr. Lori !
Oh but we're getting cold 🥶 down here in Florida
That wind is fierce! Safe travels!
Did you like it?
But are you hunching forward? IYKYK
I have traveled in the USA a bit and Philly airport is one of the more confusing airports to navigate.... unless you have been there many times. Twice was enough for me. Be safe and please bring back some sunshine!!
Safe travels!
OM, I want one!!
I think I would have rented a luxury car and driven. I thought about you when I saw the weather and air traffic delays
Safe travels Dr. Lori
I’m in Fla. Where you going to be?
Yum!! 😋
Looks delicious 😋 Safe travels ❤️
See you on PTL tomorrow
Yum 😋 Always be careful...

Wondering about my Christmas gifts? Growing up poor, my big Christmas gift as a kid was shoes. We’d pick the ones we wanted and if we were really good, we got 2 pair. If you’re wondering… yes, I was very good!
Did you see my latest video where I talk about my aunts and uncles? Priceless.
Comfort over brand.
I love those loafers! BTW, I bought my grandkids shoes for Christmas 🎁
I am the oldest of 6 kids my Parents grew up poor there so called Dad's left & never turned back but we all got more than anybody we knew but we were taught to never brag to others cause it's not there fault that there parents didn't make enough $$$ we never did brag our Holidays was filled with Love cause my Parents didn't even know that you have ham or turkey for Holiday dinner they never knew nothing about it there was many times a month they had nothing to eat we had a good up bringing & so did our kids Merry Christmas All Happy New Year 2026 Hope it's better than the last few years 🙏💯
And, no matter how much chocolate one eats, shoes still fit!
😍
We didn't know we were poor. We always got Pajamas from my Aunt and dad would make us toys. I remember getting a cradle one year, a dolls house another and joy oh joy wooden scooters painted in our favourite colours. We thought he was the best Dad in the world and mum was the best mum because she made us clothes to wear that were nicer than any of the ones in the shops.
❤️❤️❤️
We growing up like you as well got new set of clothes & New shoes as 5 children! Necessitates!.oh yes! New PJ'S too!
You were very good....maybe
What better than spending a Friday night at home with the cats and Dr. Lori on the big screen!! Learn, learn, learn!!
We got fruit in our stockings. Some times my dad, would get a tree the night before Christmas 🎄 That's when you can get them really cheap.. a dollar or two...See my mom died and he raised 4 children and we did have much...just a whole lot of Love and loneliness 😪💗
Mom got a doll from thrift store and mom made the doll clothes.A new nightshirt or jams.
We usually got a new winter coat. Six children in my family. Times were tough, but we were happy. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!!!
Cute 😊
You've had it tough with your feet. I'll bet anything you find that feels good is absolutely worth it! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2026 will be extra special for you🙏💜
Nice!
Wow, Dr. Lori, those shoes look awesome! They look like you'll have great support. Especially, since you're always on your feet. I like the black & white the best. Just me! 🤷
Great shoe choice.
Poor my ass. Lol
