OLDER THAN DIRT


I will be spending a quiet 
weekend at home.
No dinners out, even though 
the local restaurants have re-opened.
I don't want to take any chances.
I'm immune compromised
and in the 'at risk' category, 
so is my hubby.
So instead, we ordered 
steamed crabs from 
the Eastern Shore
that will be flown in. 
We're giving my daughter 
and grandchildren,
some to take home
and enjoy too.



And, while eating
these delicacies...
my hubby and I 
will drink a 
couple specialty beers
to honor my big day, 
and my interest 
in the History Channel
tv show
Ancient Aliens.
Truth is folks,
when you eat crabs
you have to drink beer.
They go hand in hand.


Afterwards -
I will blow out 
the candles.
There are quite a few
this year.
And we will EAT cake.
The kind with lots of thick
buttercream frosting.


Also we will be 
watching to see
if we have liftoff 
of SpaceX Dragon.


Otherwise...
keeping it low key.
 Should be fun.


(PS) 
You know you're getting old
when your clothes
don't match.
 The above picture 
proves 
I'm older than dirt.
