We Remember Leroy Alexander Eversley 1950-2011

Hi Fam,
It is with a sad heart that I reach out to the family and announce the departure of my cousin, Mr. Leroy Alexander Eversley ...1950 -2011. Leroy was the brother of sisters; Rosie, Ezla, Lydia & Lystra, & Uncle/Great uncle to Junior, Derbe, Briana & Niomi. Leroy lived all his life in Tobago and was put to rest by Ezla last week at his final resting place. We love and will miss him.

Kicking & Screaming to the #$%!! End!

Hi Fam,

Well, after 18 years and two months, Erica is off and settled in her new surrounding at Mohawk University. Here she is at the college dorm saying her farewells to us as we pulled off and allowed her to start a new chapter in life. This was a happy and painful separation as most parents experience. As adults, we know we've done the right thing by having her take this step in her life to make something of it. Life is not easy and this time of struggle and happiness is something not enough of our kids experience. The next two years are going to be eventful and a whole new appreciation of independence will also become relevant to her as to why we raised her the way we did.
We have so many people that helped mold her into this person we see today; her tias, cousins, friends, and family.
Again, it was a sad affair as to us leaving her so far but so near if the need ever arose.
As you can see from our picture below, this was a very sad day for us, we didn't want to let her go. Will we ever forgive ourselves for having our daughter 5 hours away from us, it was all so traumatic that we considered taking her back home the same day. I mean, here we now have spare rooms, not have to spend money and feel under appreciated, no yelling and worrying about where she is/was, I mean we're going to miss these things, right? NOT!! all I can say is; Hip Hip Hooray, finally! oops, forgot, this is a sad day for all, see our tears!!!! (hee hee)

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.
