Welcome to “ the what day of the week is this?” Club!

I wish your story of hard work could be told to every middle school aged child, or at least high school aged child, to help prepare them for REAL life! I am so happy for y'all. Enjoy your travels.

Good, hard-working people! No one more deserving than that, congratulations! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

My husband & I married in 1981! Wow we have much in common! We started out with nothing. No furniture, no bed, no dishes, etc. I was a “ GI Brat” & we had moved around so much I didn’t really know anyone who’d give me a wedding shower, etc. We got married by Justice of the Peace in Texas & we were blissfully happy. We had each other. Now we still have each other & both disabled. My husband really suffers & I’m not too far behind him that way. But I love him deeply. We have 2 kids who grew up to love children & have rather large families. We all go to church & love the Lord.

You’re going to think you’ve died and gone to heaven! That first rainy, icy, morning after I retired and I woke up at 5 and heard that rain and sleet, I joyfully fell back in the warm bed and slept till 9!! Congratulations! 🎉🎊🍾

Congrats Ms. Lori!! My daughter and I were discussing how our lives took similar paths. I married my Danny at the age of 16. I raised babies and worked at the pants factory and worked as a custodian, teachers aid, did my spill as a nurse and my Danny farmed, trucked, worked for the county road dept. He owned trucks and drove everything from tanks to eventually he hauled cars. He fell off of a ch8cken house roof in 2000 and broke his neck. Paralyzed from the chest down. 2011 God called him home. This year I retired from the school system. I pray you and Mr. Danny have so much fun together. You deserve it. Hugs prayers and much love from South Ga.

Congratulations on your retirement. I reached 70 in December and retired from my bookkeeping job in our farm office due to my failing eyesight. One of our employees has stepped in to do the bookkeeping and is doing a great job. I had eye surgery in April and after 3 weeks of healing I have gained back much of my eyesight thanks to many answered prayers by family & friends. So blessed to be able to enjoy this chapter of life.

WOW... you two deserve the best retirement

Congratulations Lori and Danny too. Because even though he’s been retired for a few months, now he has you to share it with. My husband passed away at 65. Two months after he reached retirement age. I’m so proud for you. Enjoy every minute of your time together. I pray that God blesses you with many years to enjoy your freedom. I’m now retired six months. It’s not what I had thought retirement was going to be. I’m doing it alone. But it is nice not to have to punch that clock. I worked till I was 70 because I didn’t know what to do with myself. Not being able to spend my last years with my husband made retirement put on the back burner. It wasn’t important for me anymore. But as I listen to you talking about how the years were hard and lean…it brought back all the memories of the hard times we went through and how God blessed us and brought us through it. I’m so very happy for you and Danny. Love each other. Enjoy your life. Prayers and love for you both. And thank you for sharing your life with us. ❤

I am so honored to be the first to comment on this particular video. CONGRATULATIONS on your retirement. I hope for the best for two beautiful people. Thank you for all you share on your site. I feel like we are part of your family.

CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎈🎊!!!!! You will be surprised how more busy you will be now that you’re retired. I’m 68 and busier than ever. Enjoy every moment and just rest in between. Love you two. I’m sure you have many many good friends. You’ll be busy visiting. Enjoy your family. And the property always demands our time. I’m happy for you 🇼🇸💖💖💖💖🇺🇸🇺🇸💖🇺🇸

Hard working talented people that made America Great.

Congratulations on your retirement Ms. Lori! Enjoy every minute of it, you sure deserve it.

OMG😂 when my husband and I got married in 1977 we paid $150 for two wedding bands we threw the mattress on the floor from the couch hide a bed and lived in a studio apartment for the first 6 months. After 46 years of marriage my husband died in January. We had a good life together put the early tough times I'll never forget. Now I have a nice home and it's paid for can I have kids and grandkids an I count my blessings every day😊

❤ No work today lady! Run and have fun with Danny! You both deserve every minute together having joy and fun!!!!!

I am soo warm hearted after y’all’s update. Happy retirement Mr and Mrs Brown, You are such a light and example of what hard work, loving the Lord, keeping faith in the Lord and what living simple can do for us while we visit here until we are called home. Y’all are the mammaw and pops the country needs.. So thankful y’all allowed God to use y’all in this way to touch so many’s lives. God bless you both.

I got married on February 4, 1962 and my husband passed on August 19, 2004. I remarried on March 27, 2010 and he passed on August 12, 2017. I have not worked since July 29, 1993 after my first husband had a massive stroke and had to have emergency brain surgery on February 1, 1993. He passed when he was 66, I was 61 and started drawing widows benefits I was totally exausted. I am 80 and just became great great grandma yesterday.

Congratulations! You did it! Time will fly now, so take time to smell the roses!!!❤

You never quit working, your just changing jobs. Congratulations!

I just wanna come and sit around a fire with y’all listening to the birds and just telling stories and talking for hours and hours. It just looks so peaceful there.

This my friends is what America is all about. Hardworking folks that keep it going in spite of setbacks. Humble too. I will always have hope for this country because there are people like this in every town across the fruited plain…

I do relate! My husband sold his car to buy my gold band 54 years ago. We had no money, we were so poor we couldn’t pay attention! My husband was a student and I had just quit my job as a legal secretary. Both of our families asked if we needed anything when we were first married. We told them no, we would make it on our own. They never asked again, and a year later we were thinking “what were we thinking”! But, those hard times made us, and we always had food on the table, a roof over our head. My husband worked as an LVN in an emergency room at a county hospital. I stayed home to watch our babies. Then he became a carpenter, and went to school at night. Then one day he applied for the fire dept. and became a fire fighter, and our lives grew easier! We look back on those lean times as learning times, and some of the best times of our lives. Bless you both! You are so special.

Congrats. Your early days were exactly like ours. My hubby joined military to help us with insurance expenses. I drove a school bus for 14 years to be with our children. It was a great life, no money but we had each other. Horses were our life and we sacrificed to make that happen for our children. We just celebrated 65 years and so thankful for our life and health. Hubby usually sold something to allow kids to participate in rodeos. 💚💚

I just retired after 45 years. you go girl! we can enjoy our gardening now! No alarm clock!

I understand Mr. Brown and Ms. Lori. I’m 75 and all I have known since ‘67 is hard work. I retired about 3 years ago because of some health issues but the Lord has been good. I have got to spend precious precious time with my 6 yo granddaughter. God is good.

Lori, never under estimate the work involved in raising a family. You and Mr. Brown are still together and are still smiling. Congratulations on your retirement and I wish you both continuing good health and happiness.

Isaiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2764">46:4</a> Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you. May the Good Lord bless you with many healthy years together, enjoy yourselves! And keep teaching the young uns.

I think Mr. Brown is more excited than you, Ms. Lori! This is a whole new adventure for y'all and I'm sharing in your joy. Congratulations and may the good Lord keep you! 🙏🙏🙏

Young people today have no idea how lucky they it. Congratulations on your retirement. Live it to your fullest.

Congratulations on your retirement! You soooo deserve this! God bless you abundantly in this next journey of your lives!!!

Enjoy it! My dad had less than a year left working when he passed. He had looked forward to that day. I'm no longer working because of a permanent injury but I do most of the homestead work while my husband works night shift. We have less than 3 years of mortgage payments left and he will be retiring. Our kids have worked hard too and I'm so proud of them. They have also instilled good work ethics into our grandchildren.

I retired in 2013 and I still miss working…now I’m helping my daughter with her two babies…2&3.. Still miss my co-workers…my husband and I have worked all our lives…he’s 81 now and I’m 75… Congratulations you two… love watching you two

My big surprise was i spent so much more time in the word. What a blessing that has been .

Congratulations Ms. Lori and Mr. Brown. Have fun, enjoy life. The simplest pleasures in life are now yours

Congratulations on both of your retirements, Miss Lori and Mr. Brown! This weekend, we say, “MANY THANKS TO ALL THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES FOR THIS COUNTRY!” Blessings to their families, also.

I retired in 2013 and had a mild stroke in 2014. I was fortunate it was a mild stroke but I am totally enjoying retirement. I miss seeing my work family but I don’t miss getting up early everyday to go to work, driving 45-50 minutes each way. I remember feeling like I had to use my weekend just to rest enough to go again the next week. I am so thrilled for both of you to get to enjoy retirement. I am glad you are not waiting to do the things you want to do. Enjoy each day that God gives us. Blessings to you both……………….

Congratulations Miss Lori! You two are so special and I wish you both a wonderful retirement! Just don’t retire from this channel as we all couldn’t live without you both! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

WOW, how wonderful - those kids are going to miss you - I still at 77 remember the cafeteria ladies and their wonderful food.

Oh how wonderful to start a new chapter in your lives! That’s going to be me next year!! I turn 65 in two days, but in order to collect my full pension I need to be 66. I’m a carer in a retirement home and I know I will miss them all, plus my co workers, but I will also love not having to put my body through the long 12 hour shifts! Thank you for sharing this video, and let’s look forward to the next chapter of our lives, with God’s Grace!

Congratulations!!! Enjoy it and make every minute together count. My husband retired early due to an illness that was related to his 24y military service, and in November he passed. We spent nearly two years having all the fun we could. He completed getting all 50 states…I’m only missing (you’re going to love this), ARKANSAS!!! We had a wonderful life together … our 40th anniversary was this past week that I know we will resume, when the Lord calls me home. Until then, I do the Lord’s work, help were I can and get to Arkansas!!! Love you both! Sandy in Maine.

Congratulations on your retirement! Enjoy yourselves! You’ve earned it!

Retirement is the best! Choosing how to spend your own time is a gift. Congrats! Valerie in SC

I am so happy you guys get to retire and spend more time together. I retired at the age of 62 (Oct 2023) to spend more time with my husband who had health challenges. He was doing good I thought, but I was wrong. On the morning of January 22, 2024, I woke up to find my husband had passed away in his sleep. Your are truly blessed to have each other and I wish you many years of fun and joy going forward. Kim A. of PA

The way you two moved toward retirement for the regular person is inspirational. ❤

Ms. Lori Congratulations on your Retirement, so Happy for you. My Mom said once she retired she didn't know how she did everything before she retired, and once she retired, she said she was so busy she thought she needed to go back to work to get some rest. Enjoy, you and Mr. Brown deserve all the best.Bless you,

Happy retirement!!! For both of you ...finally!

I actually VERY MUCH dislike retirement! I LOVE working, and miss it like crazy. I am 71 years old, and retired at 69, after working since I was 10 years old. I love to learn and challenge myself. I have done nearly every possible kind of job there is to do, and I keep busy taking care of my farm and animals, but I REALLY miss working. I've had the corner office in technology mgmt, and also drove an 18 wheeler for 20 years. I MISS IT!!! Congratulations on YOUR retirement, though. I hope you really enjoy yourselves!!! 🥰

Bless you both as you enjoy this chapter. Love watching you.

I'm sooooo very happy for you all! Great examples for the youth today. I'm 70 this year, worked hard, very hard my whole life. The youngsters of today don't know how hard us older generations had to work for low wages. Congratulations 😊

Congrats! I'll be 67 this year and have been retired since 62 due to my health. The best thing about retirement is that if it's storming or just an all-rainy day, you can stay home in comfy clothes, laze around and enjoy the day by reading, watching old movies/shows or whatever I want to do. Best days ever. You two have relatively good health and you have a lot of adventures ahead of you. Enjoy!

I'm so happy for y'all! If anyone deserves it, you two are the bee's knees! Love you both like family! Enjoy!

Have a retirement full of love, peace and an abundant blessings ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

We wanna here your out west story especially my hubby he’s a couple years older than Danny and he’s excited to hear your out west stories our only son serves in the US Army going on 17 years now he did two tours over seas Iraq and Afghanistan we are very proud of him thanks for honoring our men and women it’s means a lot to us he’s stationed in Missouri right now with his wife they have no children but his life is the military and he is a 1st sergeant

Our granddaughter lives in Temple, Tx. where a horrible Tornado ripped through their city last night. Both she and her husband are Paramedics. Thankfully all they lost was a huge tree, and some stucco off of their house. Their next door neighbors car was skinned on the right side, and they lost their roof and fence. We are grateful they are all ok.

Congratulations Miss Lori!! I am a semi-retired nurse, so I understand the wonderful sense of freedom. May God bless you and Mr Brown with many years of happiness ❤

You two are adorable❤️ Congratulations to both of you on your retirement. Blessings for good health and much happiness. I’ve always enjoyed your videos and your stories. I worked until I was 70 1/2 yrs. Woke up on a Thursday morning and told my honey, as I’m walking out the door that I’m giving my notice that day. Got to work before anyone was there and sent off an e-mail giving my 2 weeks notice.! Best thing I ever did and since then everyday is Saturday! I didn’t think I could afford to retire, but the good Lord always knows what our journey is going to be. First thing on my list was to find a good church which took a few months, but I found one that feels like home to me. I’ve made so many new friends. and I started attending Bible Study classes and was asked to work in the Sacristy preparing the altar for Sunday services and organize the Sacristy. Second on my list was to learn how to quilt and I’m loving it. Just went on a couple of Shop Hop Quilt tours this past month. I look behind to see the road I’ve traveled in past years and know that I certainly don’t have that long of a road ahead of me before my journey ends. I love every minute of every day and I’m so Blessed. I want that for the two of you. God Bless you. Enjoy retirement to the fullest ❤️✝️🙏

Congratulations! I will keep working past my full retirement age as long as I "feel like it". I lost my husband in 2020. He really liked Mr. Brown (grandpa's gun) because he was an OTR driver, too. Enjoy your lives, KZfaq friends.

The best advice I got when I retired was " give yourself permission to relax and enjoy doing nothing but what you enjoy". It was really hard to stop going full speed. Congratulations 🎉❤😊

Congratulations. I hope you have all the joy and peace you deserve. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

Yes, and we love you so so so much! Happy for you! You are BEAUTIFUL, both of you!

Y’all’s life story is so beautiful , y’all are blessed and y’all are a blessing. Thanks so much for what y’all do

I'm retired and love it. Every morning is reading Gods word, 10 chapters a day. Love your show. It does feel like a family channel.

Have a wonderful retirement! You deserve the best in life! Slow down now and enjoy!

So happy for you two ❤️❤️ Enjoy each day of your retirement. We consider y’all as close family members, we LOVE y’all 🙏❤️❤️🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Congratulations on a well- earned retirement! I finally retired after 60 years of nursing; was blessed for what I did, but FINALLY enjoying "my own time". 😁

Congratulations on your retirement!! Now you and Mr. Brown can enjoy the next chapter of your lives with a lot less stress.

Enjoy your retirement, it’s wonderful to finally get there. I enjoy mine every day now for 32 years. I never miss work just the people.

Bless you both. Your joyful and loving attitude means so much to me. God’s love shines through you each and every video. I’m so happy for you both.

Congratulations! Enjoy your retirement! I retired January 2020 after working almost 50 years. I’ve been blessed and will soon be 81 years old. I love your videos.

Dear Miss Lori and Mr. Brown, Congratulations to both of you on your retirement. You both deserve it. God Bless🙏🌸

It feels so good to live life without an alarm clock. I retired in 2018 due to illness and I don't own an alarm clock anymore.

It's finally here. Can't wait to see and hear what Season God has in store for you all. Lv watching you Ms. Lori and Mr. Brown. Maybe you all can do a little dancing . I absolutely love watching you all. I'm sorry I just caught this, this morning. Happy Memorial Day. Lv and Prayers to All. My husband taught 37 1/2 years. Absolutely Absolutely

This made me tear up. My husband retires in 3 years. I'm behind him by a few years. I cannot wait to hang out with that amazing, handsome man more.

Congratulations!!!! I hope you enjoy your retirement! You've earned it!

Luv your community of friends, family, and faith! Congrats on your long awaited and long deserved retirement to enjoy your travels.

Congratulations on your retirement Miss Lori. I have really enjoyed this video. Danny reminds me of my late husband Larry. I have never known a harder working man. He worked everyday and was never late for work. He always had a garden and about a year before he retired he had a stroke. He was back at work in a week. He only got to enjoy retirement for a year before he died from complications caused by agent orange in Viet Nam. So happy retirement to you both. You two are very special people.

You two are the absolute representation of what kids of today should be looking up to. Hard work at a young age all through life and a spiritual heart has made y’all such an example of the greatest kind of people there is. This video should be a required lesson in schools. I’m so very happy for your retirement and congratulations for all you’ve done and all you’ve influenced.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤ CONGRATULATIONS ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Enjoy your flowers , enjoy the sun , enjoy the sounds of nature , enjoy your garden , enjoy your family & friends , enjoy our home , and forever ,enjoy each other !! This is YOUR time Mr & Mrs Brown !! Oh and don't forget to include us 😊

Enjoy your retirement and your morning coffee TOGETHER. God bless you both.

Ms Lauri I have such fond memories of my school bus drivers. Congrats and may God continue to bless you!

Congratulations on your retirement, Miss Lori. Reminiscing never gets boring. Come on Mr Brown, tell us your stories. We'll all gather round, and give you our full attention.

And now the fun begins! Congrats to the both of you! Wishing you many years of a happy retirement…you deserve it! ❤

I remember the last day after 32 years of preschool teaching . Sad but many happy memories. Then 2 months later my daughter informed me her family was moving to the west coast. Then finding out I have a cancer without a cure. Luckily it hasn’t done anything for 5 years. Praise God. Happy retirement to you and Mr. Brown.

Thankful for your channel. what a blessing you are to others ...such an awesome witness you both are daily ❤

I was 6 my first paying job. I picked cotton and paid for my school clothes. My grandparents were in the fields with us. I'm almost 70 and am enjoying my retirement.

You two are a wonderful example of the backbone of this country. People are not like you all are anymore in this country. I hope you both have many many years of retirement. I love your videos.

I know you Browns will be soooo busy you'll wonder how you ever had time to work! Congratulations on your lifetime of hard. God bless❤❤❤

I couldn’t be happier for the two of you. I, myself am a retiree. The best is Sundays cause you don’t have to get up on Monday to go to work. Enjoy your new journey, have fun and God Bless you.

Congratulations to two people who have worked so hard but now are free to go do whatever you want to! We couldn’t be anymore happy than we are for your retirement! May God continue to Bless you both!

I wish you both a long and joy-filled retirement together. After you get settled in to your new normal, you're going to wonder how you managed to get everything done all those years! You're right -- it all goes by so fast, and now, here you are. The best part will be getting up in the morning, having coffee together, and planning your day/week. Enjoy every minute. You both worked incredibly hard, and now it's YOUR time!!!

You have both been such an inspiration. You made your mark in each of our hearts ❤️. Thank you! Congratulations 🎉. Enjoy the next chapter of your life’s ❤️

I know how you feel as I retired from teaching after 30 years and my husband retired from the Navy after 30 years as well only to pass away 3 years later. I have pressed on now for the last 17 years and it is so nice to set my own schedule, spend time with family and friends and to do all those things that bring me joy. Many blessings for your retirement

Our America have so many wonderful, hard-working Christian longtime married couples like you two. Oh even with all the problems in America now, our God has blessed us all so much, hasn’t he?? I have seen stories of Miss Lori’s and Mr. Brown’s from Montana to Maine, from Arizona to Florida. You are enjoying all the fruits of your labor!!!! Congratulations to my favorite sweet couple!!

Congratulations to both of you! I retired early last year after my son died and left me with my grandson to raise. So I get the privilege of raising another child. But I am so excited for you both! I hope you enjoy your travels!

It’s clear you are hard workers and real ! That appeals to everyone

I am so happy for you both to be able to retire, and with good health. God is good. You have worked so hard all your life…you deserve this special time.

Congratulations, Miss Lori. And to you too, Mr Brown. I retired three years ago, and there’s nothing like it. I wanted to be a full-time Grannie, garden, and read. I’m with my grandkids so much now, their friends have taken to calling me Grannie, and I love it! We have earned the position we’re in now, and life is too short not to take advantage of it. 💕☺

So thrilled for you two! Love and prayers for God's continued rich blessings for y'all!

As I watched your video I thought about the fact that I have 3 shifts left to work to end my 49 years of Nursing. It sure is bittersweet. May the good Lord give you both a long restful life

I retired after 35 years in healthcare and the last 10 years were in administration. I went back to work on contract for 5 years. I went back on my terms. It was great, I was able to collect my pensions and work revenue. It enabled us to do a lot of travelling without using our nest egg. We’re very grateful that that opportunity was bestowed on us. Congratulations to both of you, enjoy your retirement. Make time for yourself in your busy life, it’s important!❤️🙏🇨🇦
