Little Debbies Anyone?

 November 1, 2023

Harrison Bay State Park near Chattanooga, TN

This was a pretty low-key day.  It was quite chilly outside, especially in the morning so my motivation to go exploring was low.  Instead I opted for reading and enjoying the lake and the fall colors.  During Kenny’s lunch break we took a hike in the state park where we were staying.  It was only about a mile around a small island, but it was enough to get rid of the chill and Comet some exercise.

Blogging has brought contact with people whom I haven’t talked to in decades.  This morning I was chatting with a high school friend, Patsy Jackson, who mentioned that Little Debbie headquarters are in Chattanooga.  While there wasn’t a factory tour for me to go on there is a factory store.  After Kenny worked we took a short drive there.

What Patsy had no way of knowing was how big a fan of Little Debbie both Dad and Aunt Mary were.  Both had stashes of the little cakes.  Aunt Mary liked them frozen.  Kenny said I giggled the entire time we were in the store.  Beyond the cakes there were hats, shirts, sweatshirts, inflatables, pens, magnets . .  . You get the idea.  Let’s just say it’s a good thing I had an empty drawer in the RV and that Little Debbies have a long shelf life!  I mean who can pass up a giant box of Oatmeal Cream Pies for $2??? And Comet will look sporty at the Ugly Christmas Party in his Christmas Tree Cake shirt!

As always he was happy to see us when we returned home.
