Stettler is a bustling town of 5,700 lying roughly between Calgary and Edmonton in rural Alberta. We spent four nights there with my oldest brother Berny and his wife Dawn, who organized a family get-together with my other three remaining brothers and various nephews, nieces and small fry.
We spent an afternoon hiking at Scenic Sands, a resort community, where we came upon a prolific copse of plump, juicy Saskatoon berries. What a find! We gorged ourselves and rubbed our sore tummies afterwards.
Coming from a family of five brothers, get-togethers are always boisterous, noisy and lots of fun. I managed to lose almost every beanbag game I played but won one very long game of Tok, our favourite board game, under the shade of a mountain ash. We were fed till we thought we would burst, laughed till we hurt and filled our family cups. Who knows when we'll all be together again. I'm keeping this one in my memory and in my heart.

Same title, different movie
Week-end at Bernies the movie was funny. Your title reminded me of that movie, and as I was reading the blog and you said you came across a copse of berries I read corpse.. Thankfully not quite true..
