Family Pastime ~ Pinochle
Zella & Bernard Lathrop playing pinochle. This is the family game played at every family gathering. Bernard and Zella spent many winter evenings at our house playing cards, men versus women. Bernard would stay as long at the men were winning. After the first loss the men might get a different deck, they might try again after the second loss, but generally stopped after the third. Coffee and popcorn were always served.
