Miss Lori, these stories transported me back to my happy childhood with two parents that grew up during the Depression! My twin and I were given up for adoption and these “salt of the earth “ parents took us both and showered with love( not gifts) and their attention which was all we wanted.Times were hard but we were always happy with the little we had and never compared ourselves to those wealthier because we were content just to be together.I really miss them and our sweet family life!❤️

[@RJsyiyia]

My mom and dad were depression babies and told stories of what growing up was like for them. Looking back, their stories make me feel like my brothers and I grew up in the lap of luxury even though we really didn't. My Grandpa (Mom's dad) saved up and built their house with his own two hands. It wasn't a big place but us grandkids loved It! They had an out building that was full of such wonderful "stuff"; my brothers, cousin, and I would spend hours playing with all of it. Their house didn't have a bathroom in it until Mom was in her early teens and even then, you had to go out the kitchen door and walk across the back porch to use it. Grandpa passed when I was 5 and I cherish every memory of him and wish he could have still been here while we were all growing up. Mom's mother ( Grampsie) passed just after I turned 11 and miss her dearly...she left me her old Singer sewing machine and I just about sewed with it right into the ground but still have it because there's no way I'm ever getting rid of it. Thanks for reminding us of simpler times and bringing back loving memories. Bless you always and ❤!

[@KMcKee-qn6bo]

I gotta say this... I just love you and Danny so much. I love who you are and how you’ve chosen to live. And I truly admire your mission in life, the mission that has everything to do with how you touch the lives of everyone around you. Thank you for being the type of people who choose to do that.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you so much!! We Love you!

[@jsellick6468]

I SO agree with KMcKee!! What a blessing that I happened upon your channel…….I love and enjoy everything about you and Mr. Brown. Loved the Christmas stories and hearing about your childhood! Being a recent subscriber, I have lots to catch up on, and I’m enjoying every video!! Love & Blessings, Jackie🪷

[@beverlyshelton5635]

You are so right , Christmas is too commercialized, it's so hard to see little ones suffer

[@loripretti843]

Miss Lori I am so thankful for you!!! I am 61 single, I have been a insulin diabetic for 45 years!!! You made me want to cry with your recipe today!!! I Loved your readings today and I would love it if you did it every week!!! God Bless you and Mr Brown!!!!

[@bevballard7516]

I hope you enjoy the recipe ma’am. God Bless you I take the sugar free cool whip add chocolate sugar free pudding mix and whip it up and freeze it. I call it my ice cream 🍦

​@@bevballard7516sounds good have to try that😊

[@mbmiller1956]

I took care of my friends mom before she passed. The one thing she would eat when she wouldn’t eat anything else was a small pkg orange jello, 1 cup hot water stirred in til the jello dissolved, then one cup vanilla greek yogurt, stirred in, followed by a can of drained mandarin oranges. Then refrigerate until set. Delicious!!

[@Zip22Zip]

My uncle down in Mississippi raises popcorn and he hangs it to finish drying under the shed the mules use as shade. It was so hot the other day that while the mules were trying to cool off under the shade of the shed, the popcorn started popping. The mules saw all the white stuff flying around, thought it was snow and they froze to death.😁😁😁😁

You are so welcome!

MS. LORI, I SO VERY MUCH JUST LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS ❤AND HEARING YOU AND MR.BROWN TALK ABOUT YOUR LIVES AND YOUR LOVE FOR THE LORD! YOU ARE TOUCHING ALOT OF HEARTS AND THAT IS SO WONDERFUL!,I am so proud to be one that you uplift each day/ Evening I watch I grew up as I have said on Virginia's Eastern Shore on an Island well known for The Chincoteague Ponies Swimming across from Assateague Island on Slack Tide to Swim Horses and colts too Our Side! So great to have been Blessed on a Small Island, where back then Everyone knew everyone and all were there to help neighbors when needed! My Mom's Family were from there! I still have Loved ones that are so close too my Heart ♥ SO MANY TOURIST FROM EVERYWHERE FOR THE ANNUAL FIREMANS CARNIVAL! WE AS THE YOUNG PEOPLE LOVED GETTING OUT OF SCHOOL AS WE KNEW WE WERE GOING TO GO TO THE CARNIVAL!

[@lindaruckman677]

Again I Love your talking about things we ourselves has been through! I Love Giving from my Heart for your so write It's just not about The Money Give Love and whatever we can do to help with Love and if it's only a Cake or pie From your Heart That is full of Thinking about what we all can do to be a Blessing where it's needed! It's feels so much better to give than Receive! Amen! Do what we each feel what our Lord wants us too ❤ GOD BLESSES US AND WHAT A JOY HE SEES WHEN WE ARE DOING Good for SOMEONE! ANEN

[@dawnweck]

Ohhhh Miss Lori, your recipe couldn't have come at a better time for me. My Husband was recently hospitalized with kidney failure. He was put on a restrictive diet and I found myself thrust into the crazy world of a plant-based diet. Your recipe was a blessing for me. As he is recovering, his appetite is coming back and I'm positive this recipe will be one that will make him smile. Keep us in your prayers. It's not easy feeding a man who never cared much for vegatables this blasted plant based diet. Hugs to you and Mr Brown Ü

[@N2Mtns2]

Now Praying for him and you. 🙏🏼🥰👩🏻‍🌾🎚️🙏🏼

[@pamelaj25]

I wanted to reach out to you, first to let you know I will pray for you 🙏. Second, I can relate. The first week of January, my son had accute Liver failure. He was very close to death. It was extremely stressful and tough to say the least. He had to eat a Mediterranean diet along with medication. The good news is that he is well enough to go back to work just this week. The diet was probably the most important part of his recovery. God Bless.

[@kittyrichards9915]

Be careful with "sugar free" items. These type foods contain artificial sweeteners that are very hard on the kidneys. Stevie or maybe monk fruit are much better options as they are plant based. Confirm this with your doctor.

[@dawnweck]

@@pamelaj25 Thank You so much for reaching out Pamela. Prayers are what gets the job of recovery done. Prayers are always appreciated and most welcome. So very happy to hear your Son is doing so well. Hugs to Y'all Ü

[@pamelaj25]

@@dawnweck Yes. Of course the prayers are most important❤️. But the diet was critical as well. It's a long journey ahead. I hope to hear good news from you in the future.

[@cindybolling5855]

I like a little coffee with my cream too. I used to be teased at work about how much cream I put in, but I just continued to make my coffee the way I liked it!!!!😁

[@heather6778]

Miss Lori...you and Mr. Brown are amazing...you undoubtedly have have been such a blessing to each of your viewers. I find you both so comforting and uplifting. So thank you ❤ to you both!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Wow, thank you

[@robintaylor1084]

I love your small recipes. I just bought a 2 quart crock pot at Walmart for less than $10!!! Now in the morning I can put my ingredients in the crock pot and let it cook all day!

[@LCMCCHESNEY]

Thank you so much for your channel. I really appreciate it. I to love the Lord and I'm struggling right now. I'm facing total shoulder replacement and I'm doing my best to live on $1,010 a month disability and I'm single with a beautiful 13 year old service dog. I can and freeze what I can, and pay the bills. Would very much appreciate your prayers, and please don't ever quit your channel. I love it when you and Danny read the scriptures. God bless in all you do. ❤😊

[@rebelgirl7289]

I made the zucchini / lemon bread minus the glaze and it turned out very good. I just need the Cool Whip for this yummy dessert. I love that book. I've been giving to my granddaughter's family this week. Some school uniforms, a walker for the youngest, socks, extra food I get from the food bank and recyclables for gas money. They drive my old car. Sometimes the needy is close to home. Kids and the elderly come first. I respect Mr. Brown for providing for his family all those years. That's what real men do. Lovely video. Thank you.

[@vatriscrittenden785]

Loved the reading, remembering Christmas's back when.we didn't have no money. Kids would get a dollar toy and a orange and apple in a sock didn't get no candy. We are rich with God's love, but still poor. Still don't have money, just enough to get by on , there is always someone down the road worse off then you ❤.

[@susanhinson5154]

Have your coffee take care of yourself. If you can’t take of yourself you can’t help us. We need the both of you for your ministry and gardens and cooking of course. I come home from chemo and I feel so much comfort from you and Mr brown .

[@TheKatherine1958]

In 1963 my Daddy built my gramma her first ever in door bathroom with tub and toilet. Grampa had a small dairy and they had an outhouse and bathed in a galvanized tub in the kitchen with water heated from the stove. I was almost 5 at the time but I remember Daddy building the bathroom off the back door. My gramma was so proud of that bathroom that her son-in-law built for her. Grampa used the old outhouse while he was working outside but he was happy to have indoor facilities.

[@sandyhenson5875]

We didn't have money but your family had love ❤️ and God bless yall 👍

[@mamiestacy1704]

Ms. Lori, please don't think of me as being weird. But from the beginning of the video, I kept thinking, she's exceptionally beautiful. Towards the end I understood why. You are naturally beautiful, true. But what really enhances it, is your inner beauty. Thanks for sharing that we should be counting our blessings one by one. The stories you read, plus your reflecting on those needing help in our communities needed to be addressed. Thanks for sharing your kind heart and God bless you and Mr.Brown in all that you do. 💕❤️💕

[@jehsdca]

Ms Lori, Thank you for sharing those stories from people during he Depression years. They open our hearts to the possibilities of other’s needs. There are some people who simply are unaware of the needs of others. Today you’ve opened our eyes and hearts. Thank you.

[@jtharp9265]

Sadly, it's so very true , as many people even your own family don't have a clue as they are to busy living a life above their own means, But in these hard times with our economy we will be OK as we garden and save what we can , as I was raised by my grandmother who lived through the depression and was raised very frugal , Mrs lori and Mr. Brown truly give me hope and feel like I have true family ,that I just can't hug . God bless you Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas ❤🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@shirleymurphy1958]

Rich in knowledge and busy hands is such a Godly gift!

[@shirleymurphy1958]

Really a good reminder too put things aside when you can for those in need . Children and the elderly need our time and attention seasoned with love.

[@cindiegrimm5983]

My favorite kind of video from you and Mr. Brown. Just like talking to a friend. Recipes are always good, time is even better. Stay cool and safe. I think of Mr. Brown working in the heat. I'll be glad when he retires, maybe you'll come home to dinner on the table and we can convince him to video himself preparing it like you've always done. LOL Much love and prayers to both of you and the family.

[@cathyburns750]

Mrs. Lori, Thank you so much for the wonderful Christmas stories! They remind us that it's more blessed to give than to receive. Even a smile given away can make someone else's day. God bless everyone! Stay well and safe!

Good 'ol common sense that I was raised by and live by today. I also grew up without money, but we ate very well from the garden and always got by. I would consider my childhood very good. I am not rich by any stretch, but I do have more resources in retirement than I did during my career, and I believe helping those in true need is our obligation. I do what I can. Thanks.

[@scottnelson4372]

Laurie, the best way to help those families is to teach em. Give them the skills to succeed. We had nothing growing up. I enjoyed all the goodies not the gifts at Christmas. Its all about the family.

[@patriciahartless2095]

[@user-ne7mq2xr7y]

Hello Mrs.Lori..it is 8:30 here in Napoleon Ohio.I just finished watching you..The book you was reading too us was so good to hear..makes you think how even the hard times wasn't as bad as what the world is today.People believed in Our Wonderful Lord..and I wasn't there..but I just imagine in a way a lot easier times..and how close families must of been.Its been a hot summer..nothing like there..oohh I am so sorry..My son and his family lives in Texas..and he tells me how hot its been there..I will pray for rain .You guys take care..hang in there..and just know we love you guys.God bless🙂

[@kanditallant6740]

Oh listening to you talk is bringing back so much memories of my childhood. One of my favorites was catching “crawdads” in the creek behind our house. Our neighborhood kids played outdoors with us until dusk. Kids are sure missing out on some fun these days.

[@katrinaDS]

I definitely needed to be reminded that everything happens on God’s time. It’s been an extremely rough couple months and I keep praying it’s going to get better. I know it will it just takes time.

Love you guys! Had to smile...we had sugarfree lime jello with cottage cheese and small can crushed pineapple with our sandwich tonight. There's enough for tomorrow too! Gonna have to try your strawberry treat! It's just the 2 of us in our small home too! Our little home is over 100 years old...5 rooms with 17 windows....we wouldnt trade it for a mansion! Thanks for your uplifting videos! ❤

[@donnakirk7455]

Invaluable advice about serving God and others, as well as spending time and showing true love to your children/family. Great video!!

[@TexasGalOnTheHill]

I drink coffee milk too! Just like when I was a kid--lol I like the hazelnut now and I use to hate it. Oh how wonderful you are gonna get rain! Your home is so cozy! I am thinking about selling and downsizing--well more land and less house. That looks delicious and cool! Yes That story reminds us how blessed most of us are. I can remember the simple times though. When both my parents had passed my sister and I decided we would not go all out on gifts again and to enjoy each other's company and enjoy the true meaning of Christmas and it has been some of the best Christmas's since. No stress. We sometimes go and visit relatives in NC and just enjoy family now. It means so much now. I'm so ready for fall and the coziness of the season. I love being a giver. It blesses me so much more than ever receiving something. I try to do it humbly and without recognition as Jesus would do. The Lord lets me know who really needs it. Giving of your time is the greatest gift to give to the elderly. I have an elderly neighbor that comes by once a week. She comes by to visit for a while. She is 84 and lives down the street. Sometimes I just want to shut my door and not answer, but then I remember how important it is to her to let her think she is helping me out. I just smile and listen to the same stories week after week. And when she leaves I am not really sure if she knows just how much I appreciate her. You and Mr. Brown have a blessed week!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

[@kathybaker6798]

You are so right Miss Lori money isn’t always the answer . Human kindness and self sacrifice for others is worth more than gold. I remember being a girl scout and we would decorate bars of soap like swans for the ole ladies at the nursing home. We’d take those small gifts to the nursing home along with cookies and sing Christmas carols for these sweet patients. It humbled us girls and Touched the patients lives. And eventually a few of these little girls including me became nurses as adults. God moves in mysterious ways!

Money isn't everything that's true but it doesn't hurt either! 💯

I mix cottage cheese-crushed pineapple- mandarin oranges -orange jello- and cool whip-chopped pecans-now the receipe calls for mini marshmellows but i usually dont use them- you can use different Jello or pudding mix-you can use sugar free -and if you don't like cottage cheese you can use Greek yogurt since it's high in protein too-i use a 32 Oz container

[@jenninedorman4830]

That's why we give to a family we know is in need, not a company that is full of greed! XOXO

[@terriespock5384]

Enjoyed this video very much Miss Lori. I was in a situation when my boys were very young. I ended up being a single mom, I worked but my pay didn’t go very far and I was really struggling. I went for help and was told I made 10 cents to much. I was told if I quit my job I would qualify for everything. Well I just couldn’t do that, I was raised to work hard and make my way. It was hard and that Christmas I had no money to get food or any presents for my boys. Someone put my name in for help and I was able to go to the youth center and pick 3 small toys for my boys and they also put my name in for a food basket. What a gift that was. God answered my prayers for help. My boys told me when they grew up that was the best Christmas they ever had. I couldn’t believe it. It just goes to show you don’t have to have a bunch of gifts under the tree they were satisfied with the little bit they got. Now I donate every year to help someone out that was in my same situation. Love you and Mr Brown and all your videos. I was wondering, are you going to do another cook book? I missed out on your other ones. Would love to have one!

[@justcallmesuzzie]

Mrs. Lori, I use the jam in my home made yogurt. I keep what I use in my pantry for a year and I use it as I go. What I have decided to do since I am alone is to only can up what I can use within the year.

[@donnakirk7455]

That looks like one strong cup of coffee!!☕️😮😊

[@michaelbiddy2324]

We also gave gifts at Christmas to the underprivileged! This is so sweet, your stories. We took a lot of food one xmas eve to house very similar to your in 1969. The little boy was so excited we brought eggs.

[@michaelbiddy2324]

The story you read so familiar. That family never did better however. Their Daddy was a drunk.

[@michaelbiddy2324]

You and Mr. Brown were just like me. I worked 2 sometimes 3 jobs I don't think the young people now can work like that. Do you know what I mean? We worked like that and made it work. I don't think young people now can work like that and make it work. Things are so much more difficult now.

I have that exact same book and have read it more than once. In fact I have down by my chair now and have been reading in it lately. I think about those who left their homes and traveled loaded down with all they could carry and went to another state in hopes of finding work. Sometimes they did not find work and had no money to return home. Once in a while someone where they went would let them camp on their property until they could move on. People helped others out if they could. Now with the way things are going for our country I plan on using this book as a reference. Take care in this heat. We are having high heat also here in Wisconsin. Takes a lot out of a person.

[@julief1718]

A great sugar free graham cracker crust I do is some sugar free shortbread cookies, crushed in a ziplock baggy, mixed with melted butter, pressed into a pie dish and baked in the oven for a little over 10 minutes. I put sugar free chocolate pudding on the graham cracker crust and top it with that same sugar free cool whip. Btw, this strawberry recipe looks yummy and super easy and I happen to have all of those ingredients in my kitchen. So, looks like I’ll be making that tonight for my husband. He’s going to love it. Thanks for the recipe.

[@susanstokesbrungard291]

Hi All! The stories remind me of my Virginia days at my Aunt and Uncles house. I loved them so much. I really enjoyed your stories. Lv and Prayers to all. I agree with you about Christmas. We can't hardly afford it anymore. A dinner and homemade gifts are what I like. I love working with my hands.

[@deanpippitt3170]

Hi Miss Lori, so good to see you again, I just wanted to tell you how much I love your zinnias. I haven't grown any for a long time but they stand out in my mind as such a lovely, kinda old fashioned flower. My folks always grew them along the veggies in the garden. Seems like as the years have gone by faster all the time I'm drawn so to the wonderful days of childhood. I long to go home to the country where time passed slower, longer days ending with the sense of contentment of a hard days work surrounded by my family.

Hi Ms. Lori. I'm a retired Activity Director for a hospital Long Term Care. I enjoy your reading of We had everything but money. I use to have a weekly program called Reminisce. I would bring out the Reminisce magazine and focus on a particular article. I put together "kits" of items that went with the story. Back to school, or babies, Christmas, Thanksgiving, weddings... Props like a diaper bag filled with baby items, or school supplies... Everybody could pass those around the table. It meant so much to them. I loved all my moms and dads. Best job I ever had. What a blessing from God. He gave me what I had missed out on. How great is our God. Look forward to more stories and chats. 💝💝💝

[@marshabanks2297]

Such a wonderful video you made just telling simple stories and sharing a simple jello recipe. Love you and Mr. Brown so much!❤❤

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

How wonderful!

[@pambohnhoff2163]

Ms Lori, I always enjoy when you share your books and stories with us--so heartwarming! I also want to tell you how much I appreciated your honesty when it comes to preserving/canning/freezing, etc. There is a time when each family needs to consider how much they need and then plan accordingly. I'm older than you and Mr Brown, and my husband and I had to scale back some on how much we grew and how much we put up. Like you said, after you've filled your own space, and your kids' and neighbors' pantries, it's time to rest, lol. As an old gal who thinks you and Danny are God's gifts to all of us, I want to encourage you to take really good care of yourselves. Our hands, knees, and backs often pay a price if we're big gardeners. Didn't mean to lecture you, but simply to encourage you to keep on letting the Lord lead you in all areas. Love you both! BTW, I just can hardly wait to see what your surprise is all about!!!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you

[@debmohler8833]

Thank you Miss Lori. Love you and Mr. Brown. I was raised by my grandmother and Pap too. She taught me like your grandma to stock up. It’s a way of life. I have canned for over 45 years. Our oldest always says Mom you were doing all this before it was popular. Haha. Thank you for the recipes for 2. My husband is diabetic and these recipes are so helpful. I would love to start making our own bread again like when our kids were growing up but we can’t eat it up fast enough. Any suggestions. I am thankful for your and Mr. Browns insight on life as we are Christians too. You both are so encouraging and comforting. Thank you. Love you both.

Hello Whippoorwill friends

[@lauraostman5120]

Your hair is beautiful . I love it styled that way ! 💞💞🙂

[@Pamela_Gram]

I really like your cooking videos and the cooking for 2 is my favorite. This dessert 🍨 recipe I can't wait to make it. Gonna try the lime one. Serve this with some sugar free cookies! I really enjoy your stories from when y'all were growing up and enjoy your story reading too.

[@conniefreeman3943]

I could listen to you talk or read all day and also listen to Mr Brown bible study

[@patricialawlor1644]

I am so happy you are going to continue cooking for two. I am definitely going to make that dessert.Thank you for reading the stories from the depression. It is so true money does not give us the memories and happiness as we age. It's about family, home, and the quietness and simplicity of life

[@Imagineitisraining]

My favorite story was about the woman who helped the poor family. Like your family, we were country folks. We had a garden, a cow, and chickens. Never did we go without delicious food since my mom was a great cook. Dad had a good job working a pipe shop. My sister says that we were poor but I disagree. I'm happy that I lived as we did during the best years in this Nation. I was born in 1947 so it is easy to decide when those years were. It's my joy to sit in the mornings with a cup of coffee and tune in to whatever you're doing I adore your life as it reminds me so much of mine, as a child. May God bless you and Mr. Brown in all that you do. A huge fan from Bama.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@carlitasway2477]

I live in Arizona, you were right to assume cactus dying was a joke It’s ok you don’t have a mean bone in your body God Bless you and Mr Brown ❤️❤️

[@rebeccamartus5859]

Hello Miss Lori! I enjoyed this video, from the great refreshing dessert, the depression stories, and your talking with us. My parents were children of the depression in Texas and Colorado, so I can remember their stories told to us kids. I didn't really give the stories very much thought once they were told, until I became a mature woman. We should hear them every so often to remind us how fortunate we are not to know what hunger is. Anxious to see the project you've been working on! God bless from Southern California!

[@mallory0322]

Such BEAUTIFUL stories! Thank you for sharing these☺️! You and Mr Brown are such lovely blessings! 🙏🌼🌺

[@lindaortega1443]

My grandma was a young girl during the depression. I am curious about her life. Unfortunately what happens to many people is in our youth we don’t take the time to ask or listen to the stories our elders have to share. I just remember her saying my daddy this my mother that. I know I will see her again. I did however remember how to make dolls out fo rags. I taught my granddaughter. Jax was also a game she taught me but with rocks or pinto beans. Patty cake. Taking a deep breath and remembering fondly my grandma is a special gift you gave me today. Thank you

[@debbierausch3882]

I so love listening to you talk~ reminds me of my grandmother in many ways..and the stories and things she used to talk and teach us all about..and do.. ML and Thank You so MUCH!! GBY

[@lindabradford4918]

Oh Miss Laurie what a special show today!!

[@user-bl2he9mj6z]

I have been watching your channel for a couple years and I love it. Thankful for your recipes and canning videos. My husband and I are school bus driver retirees but still substitute. Love and prayers from West Virginia.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

That is awesome!

[@cherylross4238]

I also think Christmas is over kill and kids have way too much, even the adults! We are a spoiled nation. I do like decorating for the holidays and cooking good food and just being with family playing games etc. I have not cooked while it is so hot! Just a lot of cold cuts, cheese fruit and salads! I love your little cabin also! Your sugar free dessert looks so refreshing!

[@lindaobrien9595]

Enjoyed the small recipe and the stories. I caught the potatoes on the floor and it made me smile as in my house they would be cat toys, I’d be finding potatoes everywhere 😊😊😊

[@claudinepotvin-giordano1154]

Wow. Over 100. I think you mean it s strange when Arizona is so hot that desert plants are dying.

[@NorthMissouriOutdoors]

Always enjoy you reading my friend

[@ispysaidmylittleeye3489]

Thanks for the chat. It's not everyone who will just sit down and relax with me. You are certainly one of the nicest people I've seen on KZbin. This was really nice 👍

[@kennethbailey9853]

I Adore a Sugar Free Dessert ! 😮😊❤

[@rebeccanotch1202]

I like the idea of a "giving year" from your garden when your pantry is full, Ms. Lori. ❤

[@nancynichols6743]

Hello Folks…watching you two make Runza casserole. I just watched a Facebook video, “Come and sit at my table”. And the cook made that Runza sandwich. He mentioned that the person that sent him the recipe said that originally the meat mixture was stuffed in dough and baked. Look him up if you have a minute and he will read the letter and recipe he received and the recipe. He had an unusual ingredient in his recipe. Cannot remember what. His comment was they were so good he was eating 2 for dinner. Love you two and you cozy homey home, a friend from Springfield Illinois ❤😊

[@claudiakroll7784]

Ms. Lori youhave been such a blessing to me. You and Mr Brown. I am 67, retired RN. We all have our difficulties but you 2 have me gardening and raising my own food as much as I can. I started canning again too. I used to when I was a stay at home mom until the 1990s. I feel real accomplished seeing what I've canned. Thank you for all your recipes and everything. Sometimes just listening to you brings me Peace. God bless you both.
