Lots of pollen

We got to Oklahoma yesterday in time to go out with a group we have known for years.
My meal at Longhorn Steakhouse was salmon over garlic rice, and roasted brussels sprouts and asparagus. I had raspberry tea.
My only complaint was that the waitress kept our tea too full, over and over again she refilled our tea. I will have to say I was up a lot during the night for the bathroom.
It is hot here, and everywhere else. And the pollen count is high. My sister-in-law has been sick for a while with something like bronchitis, and my brother is not feeling well today. We still are having a nice visit. We bought some special smoked sausage that is house made at a grocery in Hillsboro. That is what we ate tonight. We had homemade waffles this morning.
My SIL and I went to some thrift shops today as well.
I think Bob and I will leave early in the morning to try to make it to church in Newton
before going home.
I will be normal or more nearly so come Monday.
All the fireworks stands are being set up and ready to sell.

The salmon dinner sure sounds nice. I love salmon and asparagus. Sorry to hear the pollen count is high. I can't handle that.

I'm glad you're having a nice visit. Safe travels when you set off again.

I love Longhorn Brussels sprouts. Red Lobster's are even better. I'm sorry your SIL and brother are not well. Drive safely.

I suppose they think that, with it being so hot, everyone wants to drink a lot. Truthfully, the one thing I’d never complain about is having a server keep me swimming in tea.
The pollen count is high, the temperature is high, and the humidity is high. Blah. I saw an Oklahoma meteorologist on Facebook post a recipe for “mailbox lasagna” yesterday.
Stay cool and have a good time!

It sounds like, other than the heat, you're enjoying yourself.

Omg yes I know exactly what you mean about drinking too much tea.
It's not the best.
Sorry that the pollen counts is high,
I'm not a fan of fireworks so if there were none I would be happy
