Aunt Zelda’s 70th

Happy birthday to my Aunt Zelda, who turns 70 today! Zelda is a baller aunt who’s known for her delicious ham and strong Irish coffees with homemade whipped cream on Christmas Eve, her hat made of PBR cans and yarn, and the fact that she gets up at like 3:30 am.

I’d also like to add the disclaimer that we are pretty sure this is Aunt Z’s 70th. I say this, because, last Christmas, Aunt Zelda and I were riding to dinner with Maude and Jasper, when, somehow, Aunt Zelda’s age came up. She was talking about how she was 67, and that was fine, but she wasn’t looking forward to turning 68 because, for some reason, it seemed so much older. She just really didn’t want to be 68. The conversation in the car continued and I noticed Aunt Zelda kinda mumbling under her breath. She was calculating and then realized that she was already 68, turning 69 the upcoming February. So, she dodged that bullet, I guess. Kinda? Maybe?

Anyway, happy 70-ish birthday to Aunt Zelda! May the beers be a-flowin’ and may you choose your own age for the rest of time!
