Grandma Henke

With a combined ninety-one years of marriage to celebrate during our camping trip, my brother Bill and his wife Vivian and Lynn and I felt obligated to commemorate it in a big way. What better way than a nice piece of the famed Bumble Berry Pie from Zion’s National Park? We soon discovered that it was cheaper to buy an entire pie plus two small cartons of ice cream than individual pieces at the local cafe. Were we up to it? A quick survey showed that we were confident we could handle it.

A quarter of a pie seemed a bit much to me so we cut it into sixths and Vivian and I took the biggest sixths and Bill and Lynn each had two of the other pieces. We topped it with ample amounts of vanilla ice cream and began to devour it with gusto. We ran out of gusto before we ran out of pie but we were troopers …It took Vivian longer but she eventually crossed the finish line with the rest of us.

You might be wondering how we felt afterwards … This Picture of Bill says it best.

Lynn was still recovering this morning … or at least he would have liked to (particularly since it is his birthday) … but he had to pack up the trailer so we could check out and head for home.
