Gregory Michael Atkins is now 21 years old. He is officially no longer a boy.
This is a good time to look back at things our friends and family have learned from Greg:
. Being good is not too hard.
. Learn to entertain others by doing creative things – like climbing through coat hangers.
. Be brave enough to wear your Grammy's knee boots while playing Zorro. (Could this be an inherited trait similar to the famous red tights episode from the past?)
. Plan ahead. Like starting a business called G&G Pizza. (Greg & Grammy's Pizza – you do the cooking and I'll take the money.)
. Make up a word now and then. Things can get really exigut in the Atkins family.
. Do things with Dad. You'll never regret it.
. Picking herbs makes your pockets smell like pizza.
. Compliments about food will bring you an unending supply of good stuff.
. Your grandparents' friends are funny - especially when they give you advice.
. Don't try to keep a secret from your parents. They have radar. And so do Cops.
It seems impossible that Greg has reached this milestone when, just yesterday, he looked like the picture you see here. An only child and an only grandson, just like his Dad. Carrier of the Atkins family name. He is our future. What could be more special?
