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!

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.
