I always love it when Deb (Raney), a dear friend and my writing critique partner for 20+ years and counting, comes to visit, especially when she brings Ken! It was a quick visit—not even 24 hours but we packed in a lot of fun.
Friday night our kids joined us for a simple taco dinner (including Joe’s delicious guacamole), then we played Blockbuster, a game where you compete to discover who knows (or can remember!) the most about movies. Oh, the laughter and memorable lines that were quoted! I’m still chuckling to myself. And I highly recommend the game.
Saturday morning after breakfast, which included some of Deb’s delicious home-milled cinnamon and honey bread, so so sooo good…
… she and I squeezed in an hour or so of garage sale-ing. I used to garage sale big time years ago, and anyone who follows Deb on-line knows what a “master garage saler” she is. She came home with some really fun treasures, and I did too. But she’s going to post about those next week! So stay tuned.
But a highlight for me was taking her to Tiny Little Doughnuts in Franklin where they make the most delicious tiny little doughnuts in a vintage Airstream trailer.
Here are some views inside…
Deb asked if she could take a video, and they happily agreed. The employees are all so nice, and I’m sorry I didn’t get this cute little gal’s name. She’s a great spokesperson for #tinylittledonuts
Tiny Little Doughnuts currently has three locations in the Nashville area and one in Indiana…
So the next time you’re near a Tiny Little Doughnut Airstream, drop by and grab a box of these delectable little treasures! And take a dear friend with you when you do!
Here are our boxes of delicious tiny little doughnuts. And yes, they’re served warm from the fryer! Which is how I like them, but Deb prefers them more at room temp. Or even cold! Blasphemy! ; ) They’re served with the cutest little forks, too.
So, do share…
Deb and I ordered a generous dozen of both the TIMELESS GLAZED and FRESH LEMON GLAZED (which we did not consume by ourselves, mind you). Looking at the choices below, which flavor would you have ordered if you’d been with us?
Much love from my corner of Franklin,
Tammy
And just in case you haven’t heard,
A MILLION LITTLE CHOICES
is now available for pre-order
I so appreciate the generous endorsements my fellow writers gave this novel, these among them…

Let the record show that Tammy sent those donuts home with us and a few of them actually made it to Missouri and now live in our freezer to be eaten…probably today! 😉
Tamera Alexander says
LOL! Seriously? They survived the trip? They would’ve been gone like the wind in our car. 😉 Thanks again for such a fun visit! Next time, bike riding!
Deborah Raney says
Um…there were cookies taking precedence! Those were SOOOO delicious! Well, at least the one and a half cookies I had. Ken said his 14 were good too! LOL! It was SUCH a fun time. Too short, but I’ll see you in Paris! 🙂
Tamera Alexander says
That makes me laugh! 😉
Melissa Henderson says
All of those choices of donuts look good. I may have to try each flavor. 🙂
Tamera Alexander says
We were tempted! 😉
Robin Lee Hatcher says
No question. Lemon glaze for me. Obviously, I need to make a trip to Nashville just for some donuts, if not to see you!
Deborah Raney says
That’s what I chose, Robin. And the lemon was yummy!
Patti Jo Moore says
I’m a day behind but have to say I LOVED this post!! Especially seeing two of my very, very favorite authors along with donuts!! (What’s not to love?!) 😉
Definitely cinnamon sugar donuts for me, although I’m sure they’re all super yummy!
Hugs to both of you!! 🙂 Patti Jo
Tamera Alexander says
I’ve had the cinnamon sugar before and they are YUMMY, Patti Jo. Hugs to you, friend.
Tamera Alexander says
YES!! Come on, Robin! 😉
Michele Nightingale says
Deb is a treasure! It sounds like y’all have a lot of fun!! I think I would’ve gone with the cinnamon sugar and the special dark chocolate glazed!!!
Tamera Alexander says
Those looked GOOD, Michele!
