Tu for sharing about your experience at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant. I'm glad u all had a wonderful time & u all enjoyed your food. What you all got sounds really good. I've never been to Texas Roadhouse because I don't think we have that restaurant in our area but I have heard a lot of people on D.S. talk about it. I'm glad u all got to go & celebrate Stacy's bday & it was so nice of Bobby to treat u all in honor of Stacy's birthday and it was very nice of you to give him a card & money. I'm sorry about Holly's asthma & your allergies. I'm glad u r taking good care of yourselves. Tu for sharing pictures of your plants & flowers & garden. They all look so nice & u r doing a great job taking care of them. I hope u all have a nice evening. Take good care. Hugs & love

Great to hear that everyone enjoyed Stacey's birthday dinner at Texas Roadhouse! Sounds like you had some really nice meals. I'm so glad that you had a peaceful weekend. I'm sorry that Holly's asthma has been acting up, and you both are dealing w/allergies. I believe you use Allegra, but you might also give Zyrtec a try. I've found it works the best, but everyone is different. I hope you both feel better soon! Your garden pictures are really pretty, as usual. I'm glad that you've been able to use the McDonald's gift card. I didn't know that there will be a "Scrubs" reboot. Will any of the original actors/actresses be returning? Hope you have a wonderful Sweet Treats Tuesday! Love and hugs.
