Life has been so busy I haven’t been back on the mmp in about 5-1/2 days. Finally finished reading last week’s mmp and here are a few comments:

I see **wet\_one** gave Walmart as an answer. We buy ours at Kroger. You might try Meijer. There are about 4 different types: we buy Sweet Tea & Lemonade, we absolutely love it! If they are out of that, sometimes we wait or visit another Kroger but if we’re desperate, we’ll buy Famous Sweet Tea then add some lemon juice or lemonade. If neither are available and it’s over 90F, then we’ll buy Famous Unsweet Tea and add sugar and lemon. I forget what the fourth one is as we’ve never bought it.  
We had never heard of Milo’s before reading about it on the MMP about 3 years ago. IIRC **flyboy** was extolling its virtues and some others joined in the chorus so we tried it and we are hooked; we’ve probably bought close to a hundred gallons in the last 3 years.

Yes, the next season is supposed to be starting soon and I’m looking forward to it.

In February 2022 he was diagnosed with MDS then had a stem cell transplant in January 2024. His Dr just gave him the all clear to go back to his former usual activities.

**shoe** those are so lovely.

I’ll be back later to expound on what’s been going on with Hubs and Bella and I.
