Today I posted my first post of our 2019 Spring Road Trip. This trip will be taking us to Lake of the Woods, Crater Lake, Bend Oregon and to Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Columbia River.
Please join us on this trip, and view blogs from our past trips at “Rollin’ Down the Hallway” from the menu at the top of this page.

I have had a few challenges with the internet over the last week, so the posts are getting up a little late. I will hopefully be caught up by Monday evening. I also have been battling melanoma in situ on my face having two surgeries before we left for this road trip. I received a call from Kaiser earlier this week that I need to go back for a third attempt at getting a clean report, thus I was a little depressed and had a hard time writing. I got my stuff back together and I’m feeling good about the third surgery.
It is my hope that my blogs bring you joy and inspire you to travel this great land. I can’t wait to share with you our day in Vancouver B.C., my Dad’s home town. I always look forward to my visits, even if they are short, to this wonderful city that my Dad loved.
Here is a shot from our last visit in 2013!

Being a native Californian of parents that loved to travel I’ve been in the Sierra’s in all kinds of weather; and know that you should ALWAYS be prepared for all kinds of sudden changes in the weather. Read and see more shots more in “Rollin Down the Hallway”!!!

The fall of 2015 I was looking for a great Pumpkin Cupcake recipe and found one to use as a base. This year I believe I have perfected the recipe to meet my goal of a real moist cupcake enhanced by a creamy Lite Maple Butter Cream Cheese Frosting. You can find this and other recipes by clicking “Cookin’ in the Hallway” link above.
