"I'm your Huckleberry...."

As is tradition, we went to Heise Canyon to pick

huckleberries while we were home for the funeral.

This is one of the things I love most about my in-laws....

they work hard and love doing it.

In fact my father-in-law teases about having nightmares about Jamon's poor performance last

year. He says it's part of his heritage. I guess that's true.

Anyway, it's so fun to be up on the mountain together,

talking and picking. It takes all day and

it's extremely labor intensive.....

but the huckleberry cheesecake that follows is soo worth it! So is going to my freezer all winter to retrieve

my prize. By the way, they sell huckleberries on

roadsides for $45 a gallon.

That's right...$45! I wouldn't sell my berries for any

amount! It's way too much work getting them.

Anyway, it was the first time picking for our new

sis-in-law, Abi. She was a good sport & I think she had a good time.

I just don't think she was expecting it to take so long.

My ADORABLE niece came with us. She belongs to these great people...

and I think she makes me want to have a baby girl.

hmm..... What do you guys think?
