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!!

SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 25

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

How many languages do you you speak?

American English with a smattering of Spanglish!! Meaning I speak Spanish but poorly. Must improve my Spanish speaking skills once I retire.

What are some words that just make you smile?

FREE MONEY!! LOL!! CHOCOLATE!! VACATION!!

If you were the original architect of one existing building, which building would you select?

Perhaps the Flat Iron Building or the Grace Building in New York City. I like the shapes of both buildings. Here are links with more information on both edifices.

FLATIRON BUILDING

Would you rather have telepathy or telekinesis? (Telepathy is the communication using your brain waves, telekinesis is channeling the energy onto physical objects to cause substantial, observable physical changes.)

Telepathy. I would think that this skill would be more useful in understanding and communicating with other living beings human, animal and plant life.

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

SUMMER!! Hooray for Sun, Sand, Beach, Baseball, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, walks in the park and Heat!! Also last Thursday was wonderful. Quiet in the Main Building and I had a great time working overtime in the satellite building. I enjoy working in the satellite galleries so much that I’m going to request a transfer. Speaking with one of the supervisors over there I learned that his wife had given birth to a baby boy two months ago!! Great baby news!!

In the upcoming week and weekend I look forward to attending a Brooklyn Cyclones ballgame (minor league) and attending Curlfest an event for Black Women who wear their hair Natural! Naturalistas Rule!!

CEE’S ODD BALL PHOTO CHALLENGE: 2016 WEEK 24

Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge (COB) is all about those great photos that you take which really don’t seem to fit into a common category. We’ve all taken them and like them, because we just can’t hit delete and get rid of them. There is never a theme to this challenge, so what is an odd ball is all up for you to discover and photograph.

Not sure why he had the Blindfold on while playing. Maybe it helps his concentration and blocks out distractions. He did remove it after the song.
