Horsepasture District Supervisor Debra Parson Buchanan, the folks at Martinizing dry cleaners, volunteers such as Jennifer Gregory and a host of donors sure do. That’s why they are kicking off the 27th Annual Coat Drive for Kids.

Coffee
The Ground Floor is always putting out new and seasonal flavors and items, but this weekend the local coffee shop has announced a unique special: a coffee flight.
A coffee flight is similar to that of a flight of wine or beer, just with coffee. You can now taste four smaller lattes, hot or iced, all at the same time. They will be available this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., so come on out and try some of the new fall flavors.
Pumpkin cookies
This is the Stroller’s favorite pumpkin cookie recipe, though it comes from dearcrissy.com, and it creates a delicious, soft cookie experience.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat the 2 cups of butter with mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg and mix. Add eggs and vanilla until combined. Beat in pumpkin, then the flour.
Drop dough on tray 2 inches apart and bake for 10-12 minutes. Rest until cool on wire rack.
Heat the 1/2 cup butter and brown sugar on stove until melted. Move to bowl and stir in milk and vanilla. Add powdered sugar until smooth. Spread on cookies add cinnamon on top.
