Spending time with family is something I value.  So, when I got a call the other day from my cousin’s daughter to pick blueberries, I jumped at the chance!  Her mom, who lives two hours away, met us there, too!  We went early in the morning before the day heated up.  It was good fun catching up on what our families were up to this summer, and the added bonus was we picked over 15 pounds of plump juicy blueberries at the same time!  Now that I think of it, there was another bonus: I was reminded of a blueberry cobbler I used to make, and it’s a treat!  Add it all together, and you get lots of good stuff!
