Fido, you got me beat there buddy! I got a lazy streak a mile wide on Monday’s but there’s little chance I don’t have enough get-up-and-go to get up out of the rain and move to the couch! All hail the king of lazy... 😆

It is Monday friends; the store is open but (except for emergencies - or rain... 🤣) the Mrs and I are closed. We all need a day off to recharge the worn down batteries, rest the weary bodies (which seem to be getting older by the minute) and ease the worried minds! The weekends are way too much fun to miss so Monday is our day to accomplish exactly nothin’ at all, and enjoy every moment of it.

Looks like a nice mild week and then it gets cold again around the weekend. Figures... but that’s winter in Texas and now that the cold has arrived it’s arrived for the duration. Thank goodness the duration in Texas is short! Y’all make the best out of today that ya can; squeeze out every last drop! If you’re feeling like a hot chocolate or a cup-o-boozy-yummy, Noah’s in charge of the shop and, as always, will take excellent care of ya! We’ll be back in action tomorrow and will see ya then... 😊

Here’s to all you brave and crazy peoples that came out on a frosty Saturday night for sweet treats! A song for ya, hit it Melissa... ( youtu.be/L7LVW7emVE4 ) What am I gonna do about you? I guess I’ll just keep on making the ice cream... 😎 Great big shoutout to Juan Carlos Cortes for playing his heart out last night! I think we’ll have him back special on Valentines Day... ❤️

It’s Sunday, my favorite day. I get a little bit of absolutely everything I need! Sunday scripture: Galatians 5:13 KJB... “For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.”

Remarkable letter, Galatians. A fantastic study in liberty from the bondage of the law, why it was given in the first place, what it fails to provide and the glory of Gods amazing grace towards us! I think this is one of, if not the most salient verse in the epistle. Given such liberty, what are we ultimately to use it for? The simple answer; by love to serve one another. Not to take unbounded “license to sin” as some erroneously think. That birth certificate we all have represents such a “license”... 😆 No, liberty from the law is freedom to serve God and there is no finer way to serve God than by summing up the entire law in one beautiful activity. Paul quotes Christ Himself: Galatians 5:14 KJB... “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.”

The world unfortunately does not operate like this. Then again, I’ve never much cared for the world, so I buck its trends and do my best to worship our Lord and Savior by following the example of the Apostle He sent to us, Paul. Have y’all studied Galatians in a while? It’s a refresher course in grace as these believers had forgotten its implications. Highly recommend... 😊

Sunny with a high of 50 today, nowhere near as windy as yesterday! I’ll take that and smile! Hope to have the opportunity to serve y’all a little boozy goodness this afternoon before we close early at 7:00! Grace and peace...

Well, we knew it couldn’t last. Maybe I spoke too soon, tempted fate. Oh but it was nice out yesterday! Today; bundle up y’all, it got chilly overnight and windy too! These fine folks know how it’s done, follow their lead... 😁 Temps gonna dip below freezing at night for a few, but at least make it into the 50’s during the day. Not too bad, not so bad that a cup-o-boozy-goodness wouldn’t be appropriate! Just think, if it’s cold outside and you take your ice cream to go, it won’t melt so fast... 🤣

You know we got us some dang good hot chocolate too and that’ll warm your bones and your soul! Should I say it? Am I pushing my luck? Why not, always have anyway! At least it ain’t snowing! There, I said it. Watch the snow begin in three, two, one... 🙄

Nah, there’s none in the forecast, we’re good! Winter’s still just teasing us! Open at noon today and every weekend day, we’ll see y’all downtown shortly. We’ll get ourselves moving around here; get a few things done that need doing, grab a bite to eat and head on into the shop! A fellow named Juan Carlos Cortes said he might stop by around 5:30 with his guitar and play some Latin inspired music for us. Sounds pretty cool to me... 😎 Make it a great day, stay toasty and hope to see a bunch of y’all later!

I’m thinking this could be the most beautiful Friday of the whole winter season! Temps in the low 70’s, mostly sunny skies; does it get any better? I’m glad you asked, cause yes it does, it gets a lot better! First of all, ice cream is better with booze in it and we got tons of that stuff in many different flavors ready to serve! Second, we got Tina Marzola Music and Scott A. Brooks teaming up tonight at our place to play some awesome tunes for ya! Third, we got all y’all who are gonna be downtown enjoying the day hopefully stopping by for a little taste of both... 😁

It’s days like this that make Texas life so wonderful, McKinney in particular! Mild winters, hot music, boozy ice cream, awesome people, great food; and that’s just the beginning of the short list! Our downtown square is the place to be! We got it all and more! Things are gonna be hoppin’ tonight and you don’t wanna miss ‘em! Get your boots on and head on over, kick up them heels and have you a time! Old man winter is out there somewhere but he ain’t around tonight!

I wish I could take credit for the groovy graphic. Tina did a great job putting it together! The bottom part got cut off cause I couldn’t figure out how to re-size it to fit... 😐 Look like a regular billboard poster with our name and address done up nice! Y’all know where to find us by now I reckon so you get to see Scott and Tina instead... 😆 We hope y’all have a fantastic finally Friday no matter what it is you decide to do! I can guarantee that a bit of boozy goodness and some sweet melodies will make your night on the town THAT much better... 😉

Been a busy week but I got me a thumbs up from Mrs Ice Cream Man! Filled up the quart freezer with all sorts of y’all’s favorite goodies! Got some Vanilla Cookies and Double Darks, some Salted Caramels and Irish Coffees, some Eat A Peach’s and Killer Vanillers and even more then that! So many I can’t remember to list ‘em all! Well, I am just waking up so that might be a reason too... 🥱

Point is, we got us a freezer full of quarts ready to go! I got caught up on making gallons and took the opportunity to fill quarts for ya! Come and get ‘em, they won’t last long... 😉 And I’ll have to do it all over again... 😆 Which ya know of course is my pleasure... 😁 Know what else is my pleasure? This weather! Going up into the low 70’s today and tomorrow! I’m gonna give that a woohoo and a yeehaw! This is sure my idea of “winter wonderland”! It’s a wonder it doesn’t snow here in Texas! I can wander around in a T-shirt and feel great!

Speaking’ of wandering around, the weekend starts tomorrow and I’ll bet y’all have some plans to do some wandering yourselves. If that’s the case, make sure you wander by our place for a bit! Not only do we have the boozy goodness you crave, we got us some hot tunes too, we do! Tina Marzola Music and Scott A. Brooks gonna be there, guitars in hand, voices tuned to the song! Man they’re good and deserve a woohoo and a yeehaw too... 🤠 Here’s to hoping y’all are able to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather while it lasts! Gotta figure there’s a cold spell out there somewhere, but I don’t wanna jinx it... 🤫
