Recently this most adorable wee poppet and favourite son turned twenty.

Twenty!!

We celebrated with a hideously expensive, but very excellent dinner at hartsyard

This year (in addition to the usual cold, hard cash preferred by all) everyone is getting a vintage silver napkin ring with some sort of personal connection for their birthday. Joe/Frank was first up and his featured a variation of his monogram.

The pattern would make rather a nice cable scarf, I think.

But his absolute favourite present (even more than the cash!) was the los pollos hermanos tee-shirt.

Twenty!?! How did this happen so quickly?
