Duck Donuts by Jacob Boyd

-

Duck Donuts is a donut store in Outer Banks, North Carolina. They make their donuts right there, on the spot,  in the store. They are a very popular donut shop. Every morning there is a huge line all the way out into the parking lot.  At Duck Donuts you order your own custom designed donut. 

Custom designed donut????!  Yes, first you must choose a glaze.  There are many flavors like: strawberry, orange, maple, regular glaze, chocolate and more.  The next choice is what topping you would like.  There are lots of toppings including: coconut, rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, bacon, nuts,and more.

When I went to Duck Donuts there was hardly anybody in the shop because it was 10:00 a.m.  I went with my Papa and cousin, Joshua.  We had gone to the store and bought buggy boards and our Papa brought us to the donut store to have a treat.

When we walked in the fresh, rich, delightful smell greeted us.  First we filled out our order sheet.  I chose maple glaze and no topping.  Soon after we filled out our sheet we handed it to the cashier. Meanwhile, there was a guy making the batter behind the counter.  After the batter was made and Papa had paid, the batter poured into a mold and then dropped into the boiling oil.  Not long after that the donuts came up out of the oil onto a conveyor belt.  Immediately a person took them to the glazing section and dipped and turned those donuts into the glaze.  Then they were passed to the topping section. In the end the hot donuts were put into a box and handed to us.  Fresh. Hot. Personally custom designed donuts. 

They melt in your mouth like nothing else.  Dunkin Donuts (available in our town in Indonesia) does not compare to Duck Donuts.

Mom, Ruth, here chiming in on this yummy summer memory.  Because it was not only filled with calories but with special times to connect with great people. : )  Aubrey and I had a lovely trip to Duck Donuts, when the line was out the door.  30 minutes long.  Lots of time to talk and share.  Worth every calorie and dollar.  Sweetness.

Last Flight

Bob and his daughter, Stephanie, flying on a different day in Papua . Jan and Bob It was another ordinary Wednesday in Papua.  The rain had come down all night.  Leaving the runway soggy.  6 a.m. I had finished reading my Bible and I hear Bob take off on first flight.  I think, “Wow, he is early this morning!”  Then the typical morning craziness starts in my house.  The cooking of a hot breakfast.  Packing school lunches.  Signing forms.  Arranging pick ups.  Off to school.  Exercise.  Home. Unfortunately, the freezer has frozen over so much that the door is on longer sealing.  It’s a forced, defrost the freezer day.  Out comes all the food.  Towels are laid everywhere.  Drip. Drip.  Jacob is on his 3rd day of not feeling well.  It has been a week of no routine.  No home school.  POP a video into the DVD player for Jacob and lucky little brother to watch.  I go into the office. I hear the plane take off again, 2nd flight. BOOM .  A sickening feeling enters my stomach.  That wasn

Today (Wednesday, Nov. 1),  Darron and Gary were leaving on an afternoon flight to the Philippines.  The nicer of our two cars had just been picked up from the repair shop ( it was an alternator this time).  They are at that stage.  Always, something falling apart.  With the mission mobile, we can’t complain.  It is 21 years old!!!!  Darron just popped down to the hanger to fill up the tires with air and I heard him pip the horn at the gate, to indicate he was read to go to the airport.  Yet, he had a different message.  The tire needed repaired…..or more probably replaced. Groan.  There is ONE thing, I disdain as a woman and that is handling car problems.  It’s hard enough to do it in your home country and a language you are fluent in.  Try doing it in a foreign country.  Also to me, it is a MANS world.  If you want to plop me in my discomfort zone, tell me I have to get the car fixed. So off we drive.  Air hissing out of the tire.  The good news, my husband is by my side.  The bad ne

Anguished Hearts

Image after image flashes through my mind.  I see little but “growing bigger and stronger” two and half year old Azarya coming towards me on the gravel runway.  Wanting to give me a high five and nothing warms my heart more.  Knowing that this is the little boy who drank his way back to life with goats milk.  More images of all over campus this little boy waving at me and smiling shyly, running and playing like normal children should.  Every time I saw him, I rejoiced in the second chance that Jesus had given him.  More images of being with his Mommy and Daddy and their JOY and gratefulness in Ayarya’s strength and change as he transformed before their eyes from being severely malnourished to vibrant.  Ida, his Mommy, is my closest Papua friend, and I see so many images of her and I chatting and laughing together and enjoying her new fat little baby boy, now two months old.  Despite that Ida was still morning the unexpected loss of her father and still mourning the loss of her first ch
