A Patriarch's Three Score and Tenth Birthday

Tammy, Lizzy, and I traveled to VT after work on Friday, January 10 to celebrate Pop-Pop's 70th birthday.  Upon arrival, we attended a chili cook-off between some members of Pop's church.  The ballots were counted after the dining, and Pop won with his chili recipe that contained some ingredients that Jaclyn said she couldn't believe would be put in chili.  

The NY Gangwers came over for breakfast and the birthday celebration the next day.  Before the big event though, they, we, and the B's went bowling.  When we returned, we had dinner and the birthday cake. All five of us children and some of the grandchildren gave Pop gift cards to be used toward the purchase of a fishing kayak.
