Dinner at the Abbott's with Mom and Dad


Hi Fam,
What a week I've had. Mom and dad completed the week by dad leading us into pray and having a wonderful dinner. The dinner was joined by Merlin, Nat, Prince, Dmiteria, Bernadette, Esther, Erica, & Luisito. Pam cooked a good tasting roast pork, which I am still munching on,hmmmmmm, some appetizers, which was almost gone because Merlin and her clan came late. Either way, Thanks Mom and Dad for spending some time with us, and we love you.

A Day at West Point Academy


Hi Fam,

We took to the scenic route this day and went up to the United States Military Academy (aka - West Point). We were treated to a day of historical facts of our founding fathers and how the institution have produced such greats as, Patton, MacArthur, and Buzz Aldrin, etc... Mom and dad was ever the studious ones in the historical aspect of the day. As we can also see Pam getting in the act with the Army Mascot. They are very Gun-ho about their rivalry with the Navy.
On the way back we stopped at our favorite watering hole (GreetTea) and treated mom and dad to some Apple Cider, Magnus and a host of other snacks and appetizers. After that dad and I went to the Bogie down Bronx, where we mixed with the homies and our Ghana brothers at the barber shop. Dad made sure to give a "pound" when we left the spot.
LOL, great day and wonderful people we met and had a good time with. Sorry you couldn't be here, you would have enjoyed it.

Mom & Dad In the Big NYC


Hi Fam,

Want to welcome Mom and Dad to the Big Apple. Today they took to the city and enjoyed a long (I mean long) walk around New York City. Here we have mom and Pam getting ready to get on the Metro North to Grand Central Station. They were treated to a nice train ride, but unfortunately, thrown into the vacuum of New York. Quote from dad, "I've never seen so much people in one place" After that they walked down 6th avenue (Avenue of the Americas) and went to Rockefeller Center to see all the skaters. Tomorrow, more walking and sightseeing for us. I'm already bushed. Night. ps. they blacklisted dad out the pics, but I'll look out and get him in here.

Dad's Doing Okay


Hi Fam,

Wanted to bring some great news to the forum, dad had some minor surgery on his eye this week, but is back home now and doing well.
Knowing dad, he's going to very disappointed he can't drive for the next week, lol, but it's a small price to pay for his vision. Dad will have to be under a strict routine of eye drops for the next year, but with the support of the family, no problem. Love you D, and see you soon.
