WW and Betty Ford for me after a cruise!🤣🤣🤣
I like taking the cottage cheese and laying it in the groove of the celery, delicious snack.
Looks great! We usually fix a frozen pizza the day we get home. And after that it's back to better eating. I also schedule a grocery delivery while at the airport in order to have fresh produce delivered the morning after we get home. I'm always way too tired and jet lagged to go to the grocery store.
yum, hummus!
Yum…
Yum!
Oh wow, you can do this! Go go go
Welcome Back, the food looks yummy, but travel food looks yummier lol.

So you call yourself a collector, a thrifter…do you know what were history’s first collectible? Seashells! They were collected by travelers—mainly sailors—and brought home, placed in wonder chambers (private rooms made for souvenirs) and discussed as conversation pieces about the places visited. Curio cabinets housed them! Cool, huh?! #travel
Can you tell the age of the seashells collected 10 yrs ago verses 100 yrs ago? Also, is their much $$ value to them?
I have a lot of sand dollars! Always fascinated by shells!
I’ve collected many shells from Florida beaches 🐚

Can’t get enough of designer bags. The pink #chanel OMG! #designer #shopping #fashion
Thank goodness it’s not really my weakness. I have enough others !!!
Cute designer bags!
Love the pink and white one!
Personally I have been a Coach girl...but 2 years ago my granddaughter's gift to me was a Michael Kor...it is pink...and everyone just raves about it....so I'll never leave Coach entirely...but this Michael Kors is growing on me...
What's the one with the"H"
They are beautiful! I've recently developed an addiction to vintage leather Coach. I never really cared for them when I was younger. I'm about to attempt to restore a black one I picked up a couple weeks ago.
Keep your eyes open at the thrift store!
love the Chanel bag too !!
I love beautiful bags, but I'm SO lazy about changing them ... I started using a Baggu cargo sling (maybe $60?) a couple yrs ago for a trip and have never changed over. If I'm dressing up, sometimes I put a few necessities in a pretty bag to carry ... but I'm not the bag-switcher I wish I was...
My addiction is purses!!
Is it oak? What did my Dad always ask me about appraising? Watch me value a copy of The Gettysburg Address, a stoneware crock and a nightstand on Pittsburgh Today Live with Heather Abraham and David Highfield
Cobh Ireland was freezing but fun! Titanic history, colorful architecture and warm people. Luck of the ☘️ #shopping #travel
Cold ? They just had a heat wave.
Well, Dr. Lori. Is there any place you are not going to, on this fantastic voyage that you wanted to go to? Vacation/trip of a lifetime.
My great grandmother was scheduled on it two days before she got sick . I wonder if someone saved our bloodline? She could not go
So beautiful there. I want to go back someday.
My favorite place in the world, Ireland, been 2 times and want to go again.
