Arm's Length Photo of the Week!
This week's photo is one I treasure. It is an arm's length photo of me at Water Country USA- one of the best places on earth. I am actually considering having my wedding reception there someday when I get married. I mean, I just love it there that much!
Take a look at all those people having a whale of a time in the wave pool! That's another thing I love about Water Country USA. That wave pool! Complete fun in the sun!
Little Debbie Zebra Cakes Rule the School!
Question: What are the top selling products?
(On a side note, you really can't beat the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. )

McKee Foods Corporation, a privately held, family-run company based in Collegedale, Tennessee, has sold more than 157 billion Little Debbie® snacks since the brand became available in 1960. If you lined up all those snacks, that would cover over 9.9 million miles — enough to circle the Earth almost 400 times! That's also enough snack cakes to stretch to the moon and back more than 41 times!
Little Debbie® snacks have even orbited the earth on the space shuttle, traveling more than 17,500 miles an hour.
Little Debbie® Fudge Brownies were one of Elvis Presley’s favorite snacks.
Little Debbie® Oatmeal Creme Pies had a supporting role in the Disney family adventure Honey, I Shrunk the Kids in 1989.
The Little Debbie® brand is better known than its parent company. In 1960, the company founders O.D. and Ruth McKee decided to create a brand for the products they were selling and chose to name it after one of their grandchildren - four-year-old Debbie. The original image of Debbie used on packaging and advertising was based on a black and white photo of Debbie in her favorite outfit. Atlanta artist, Pearl Mann, did the original color artwork. She made young Debbie look older, around eight or nine. Minor changes were made to the logo in 1987.
