Wednesday: problem?

I might have a problem.  Lipton Decaffeinated Unsweetened Iced Tea Mix may (or may not) be discontinued.  I had a hard time finding it a year or two ago because it was always out of stock at Meijer, so I bought a case.  I just started my last jar, so I starting looking for a good place to find it again.

All the comments say that it is discontinued, but may come back mid 2025 per Lipton.  One jar can get me through several months, so I'll look again in a bit.  Otherwise there are a few options I could switch to but they all seem more expensive (and more concentrated?) or caffeinated.  Stay tuned; I'm sure I'll be really happy or really sad in a few months.


In other news today, we finally made it to a Tulip City Rock and Mineral club meeting.  The end feelings were...medium.  The junior meeting was a bit shorter than I expected, but both kids came home with a really nice fossil.  Then the kids joined the adults for the guest presentation - I'll be honest, it was a bit boring.  It was on how the club can join with Ottawa Parks and Rec to promote rock things.  Now, if we were active members then this might have been interesting.  But...the speaker talked quite a bit about Hemlock Crossings, which is one of the buildings that has a nice nature center with a big room for events.  And about five minutes discussing the parking lot.  We've been to Hemlock Crossings; to me it seems like a normal parking lot.  Furthermore, Joshua wasn't feeling amazing.  He had a headache that he couldn't quite shake.  

All in all, we want to give it another try.  It has potential and it had great snacks.  It's just hard doing things the first time.
