I found these dudes out hoofing the beat right outside the shop the other day. Had to walk out just to say hi, snap a quick picture and admire the absolutely incredible creatures presented before me! Splendid, majestic, noble, skilled, disciplined, trained... all these words came to my mind all at once. Beautiful especially! Oh and the folks who were riding them couldn’t have been more pleasant to speak with... 😉 Let’s give it up this morning for our own downtown “McKinney Mounties” who are facing what I can only imagine must be some seriously tough times as we all are. These dudes (peace officer’s all) are out there trying to keep the peace in some mighty tough times. Me personally, I appreciate their concerted effort to do so. Officers, please feel free to come into our shop for a cup of (yea, boring I know...) non-boozy ice cream and/or coffee anytime y’all like. The cups are on us! Keep on keeping on and stay cool y’all! Thanks for putting yourselves out there every day on behalf of we the people! I offer up a short prayer for y’all that your job may be as boring as possible during these strange times. 1 Timothy 2:1-4 KJB... “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” May we all follow similar wisdom and logic. Looks to be a stunningly beautiful Saturday y’all! Though it’s wise to shelter in place for a short while we all need to get out and about for a time now and again. When ya do, I hope you consider coming to see us @thedonutkitchen_downtown and Cocktail Creamery for some healthy eats and sweet tasty treats! We’ll be there for ya. The Donut Lady and the Ice Cream Man very much appreciate y’all’s business... 😊 #cocktailcreamery #thedonutkitchen_downtown ##mckinneymountedpolice #mckinneystrong #peaceofficer #historicdowntownmckinney #staypositive #adapt #moveforward #graceandpeace ...

It’s been a very strange and stressful week for all of us. Much uncertainty abounds as to how we are to move forward in our daily lives. The Donut Kitchen and Cocktail Creamery are open for business till 10 PM tonight. Please avail yourselves of our hand sanitizing station as you walk in our front door. Please, no more than 10 people at a time in the store. That said... it’s Friday y’all! Time to kick back and relax some with family and a few close friends at home (for now). If you get a little “cabin fever” come on over and pick up some breakfast, lunch or ice cream and donuts to go. Take a little walk, eat outside in the park across Louisiana Street or take your food home and enjoy it there! Mix yourself a nice cocktail or two (I’m sure gonna!), turn on some good music and enjoy a wonderful evening! Here’s one I love to get you started! Homeward Bound... ( youtu.be/zMu_1IT4A9w ) ...because home is a beautiful place to be! Make it a great weekend y’all! FYI, I’ve been working hard all week to keep the quart freezer stocked, and it sure enough is... 😉 Grace and peace, as always! #cocktailcreamery #thedonutkitchen_downtown #homewardbound #simonandgarfunkel #boozyicecream #gourmetdonuts #historicdowntownmckinney #homeiswheretheheartis #fridaynight #cocktailtime ...

A week ago today I snapped this picture of a lovely couple playing one of the many board games found in our shop. It seems like almost a decade has gone by since then. The game? Life. Personally, I believe it is sometimes a good and powerful thing to be reminded that life is not just fun and games. A challenging situation such as we find ourselves in can help to remind us what are truly the most important things in our lives; the people we are surrounded by. It’s people which build families and it’s families which build communities. I am very thankful not only for my immediate family but for the community of people pulling together in these uncharted, unprecedented and downright strange times we find ourselves living in. With hard work, cooperation and some time, which will inevitably pass, we’ll all be back socializing and playing games together soon enough; with hopefully one significant alteration in perspective... life is short, precious and we are not guaranteed another moment here. Eternity awaits us all. Certainly make preparations for an uncertain tomorrow; be absolutely certain to make preparation for a certain eternity. Romans 5:8 KJB... “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” We can be absolutely certain in this eternal truth. He paid it all... Another beautiful day in store for us today, make the most of it and I hope to have the opportunity to see some of ya for ice cream and donuts this afternoon and evening! Grace and peace, as always... 😊 #cocktailcreamery #thedonutkitchen_downtown #mckinneystrong #eternalhope #staypositive #adapt #itsabeautifulday #livelife #eaticecream ... See MoreSee Less

The supermarket offers food and quarts of ice cream to go. Guess what? So does @thedonutkitchen_downtown and @cocktail_creamery ! And, we offer these things with far less crowds, waiting times and in a cleaner environment because fewer people! I’ll keep filling quarts too; adding new flavors weekly! Zoom in to read my incredibly neat hand written labels... 😁 I see times are tough and getting tougher and would offer these words of encouragement and comfort to any and all who would hear them. 2 Cor 1:3-4 KJB... “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.” While we are not saved (yet) from sins presence (clearly), we can be saved from sins penalty by trusting in the gospel of Christ of which I am not ashamed. That is the greatest comfort on earth! Christ died for our sin (1 Cor 15:1-4) and rose again for our justification (Rom 4:25). If you find yourself in need of some comfort our ice cream or donuts can’t seem to satisfy (hard to believe, I know...😉), I love to speak of Gods words to us anytime to anyone. I can be reached at 508-446-7103 for ice cream or for a comforting word. Grace and peace to each and all. Fear and panic are our greatest enemy and a very powerful tool of control. Take reasonable serious precaution and go about living life as it’s always meant to be lived; actively not passively, treating one another the ways in which we all wish to be treated... with dignity, care, concern and respect. Looks like sunshine this afternoon... sunshine is healthy ☀️☀️☀️ Get you some wherever you are and hope to see some of y’all at the shop this afternoon! #cocktailcreamery #thedonutkitchen_downtown #icecream #boozyicecream #breakfasttogo #lunchtogo #icecreamtogo #downtownmckinney #historicdowntownmckinney #fearnot #staypositive #mckinneystrong ...

Well... it’s Monday at The Donut Kitchen and Cocktail Creamery and y’all know what that means. Donut Lady and Ice Cream Man get a day off from workin’ the shop. That don’t mean we ain’t thinkin’ of y’all though. Monday is our day to order supplies, clean thoroughly and prepare for the always interesting customer filled week ahead. It’s our pleasure too, as we truly enjoy our @downtownmckinney home and all the people that help to make it as awesome a place as it is. We have always existed in challenging times; risk is an essential element of life, a bit more so for the self employed. That’s just a part of our nature however as the potential reward for risk taken is that much more sweet when daily realized. More so too with the recent threat of added potential for illness. Whatever this weeks challenges, they will be met with enthusiasm, strength, excitement and the peace of knowing that while life is inherently “risky” for all, we, through knowledge of the scriptures written for our learning, have a hope and peace that passes understanding; and because of that, fear not our naturally fragile human condition but embrace the opportunity to interact respectfully in this, another day of grace given us by Christ our creator. Make it a great day y’all and see you tomorrow for food and fellowship, as we are all fellows on the same crazy ship... 😉 #cocktailcreamery #thedonutkitchen_downtown #breakfast #lunch #gourmetdonuts #boozyicecream #homemadeicecream #mckinneystrong #adapt #staypositive #fearnot #lifegoeson #learnmore ...
