NEW FAVORITE FALL DRINK
Just a couple of weeks ago I proclaimed by favorite fall drink was Dunkin' Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee. Call me fickle, but this week I've fallen deeply in love with Starbuck's Orange Blossom Tea. I am wild about the jasmine green tea that smells so delightful, I wish it was sold as a perfume. I am always on the lookout for warm drinks once the thermometer dips below sixty. Send me some hot drink ideas at staceyatpatch@gmail.com.

PITCH IN FOR PENNY'S CAUSE
Marblehead resident and breast cancer survivor Penny Schuler is in training for the Disney Marathon Walk in January, a 13.2 mile walk. Her daughter Alexa will be running the full marathon and Penny will be walking the half marathon. "Alexa and I believe that any cure for any cancer is a step closer for finding a cure for all cancer.

SUCH A (STOWAWAY) SWEET STORY
It's October so why not salute all things sweet in Marblehead? I am a big fan of Stowaway Sweets on Atlantic Avenue. Want to know who else I discovered loved our Marblehead sweets? During FDR's administration, the White House received weekly shipments for almost 11 years. Other fans included England's Queen Mary, Lady Astor, President Calvin Coolidge and Katherine Hepburn.
