Companion

My animal companions over the years have been the dogs I had when I was growing up along side my fascination much to my mother’s horror, with gerbils. The Gerbils only lasted until I got my first cat named Bonkers sometime during the 1980s. No Bonkers and later his companion Smokey did not eat the gerbils but that was only because my parents moved the gerbils to their bedroom. One day my Dad said to me Deborah your gerbil (by then I was down to one) is not moving.  Taps for the gerbil.

Time went on and eventually I finally left the nest and moved into my own apartment in 1990. My parents had gotten rather attached to both cats and insisted on keeping them. I had visitation rights. Sadly before that decade ended both my parents had gone onto their heavenly reward and my cats came to live with me. Unfortunately cats do not live as long as humans and over the years I’ve had to part with several feline companions.  Currently I had on Purrfect Buddy. That Talented Terrific Tuxedo known as Sylvester.  He is Pawsome!!

My best friend and life time companion is my brother Stephen, an Autism Guy who is my heart, soul, mind and everything to me. As anyone who has followed/subscribed to my blog for any length of time knows Stephen is my whole world. Since our parents died all we have is each other. He accepts me for who I am. I don’t have to wear a mask around him. He is always eager to see me. We are a team that cannot be separated!!  I Love You Stephen Vincent Palmer!!

Jubilant

Rejoice! It’s the end of the week, and time for a celebratory photo challenge.

Psalm 96:12-13

New International Version (NIV)

12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
    he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Philippians 4:4

King James Version (KJV)

Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice.

SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 19

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world and which may not always match our reality.

  1. You win a pet monkey but this isn’t just any old monkey. It can do one trick for you whenever you want from getting a pop out of the fridge to washing your hair. What would be the trick?

Go find that dork Donald Trump or the Koch Brothers get their money and redistribute it to the poor, needy, disabled, homeless, Veterans and Oh Yes while we’re at it Give me the monetary equivalent of my 40 Acres and a Mule.  Hmmm… maybe while they digging into The Donald’s bank account I would get the monkey to rip that sorry-ass dead animal weave off his noggin!! LOL!!

  1. What caring thing are you going to do for yourself today?

Got my eyebrows and upper lip waxed. Love the magnificent artist Frida Kahlo but no need for a Unibrow.  Took advantage of today’s good weather and did a Soulful Strut along Fulton Street in Brooklyn.

  1. What color do you feel most comfortable wearing?

Purple.  Red and Blue also.

  1. Complete this sentence:  When I travel I love to….  eat and take photos!!

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

I am grateful for my vacation even though it rained the entire time except for today which is the last day. However I’m also grateful I was at home as opposed to work because the museum gets extremely crowded during inclement weather. It’s like being invaded by locusts!  Also grateful for the opportunity to celebrate my brother Stephen’s 55th Birthday!!  Hooray!! Went to see the Special Dinosaur Exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History.   We also made progress on the Sibling Art Collage that we are collaborating on.

Looking forward to getting together with a guy I met yesterday at my room-mate’s dinner party. Since I work for a New York museum I can get into all other NYC museums for Free. Since we both have an interest in art, photography, museums, Buddhism, etc… we made an immediate connection.

Also this African-American Scottish Brother is easy on the eyes with a great sense of humor. As you can see I’m getting slightly giddy as though I was 17 instead of 57 but I’m ready for some romance. But let’s not put the care ahead of the horse. Right now Mr. African Scotland Yard seems like a great hang-out partner. Hopefully the weather will be in the 70s and sunny with no rain like the past week.  Fingers crossed!
