Happy Birthday Nelbo!

Today is Nelson's 22nd birthday.
He's wearing my apron.
I asked him to put it on so I could take his picture.
I think it contrasts nicely with the dotted towel, n'est-ce pas?
And yes, he generally is a good sport.

Could one characterize his expression as 'he looked askance?'

Love, c.
