Share Your World – 2016 Week 48

Do you prefer eating foods with nuts or no nuts?  

No nuts. I don’t like food in my food. I prefer to eat nuts separately.

If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?

Dramedy. Meaning Drama and comedy combined with some Sci-Fi thrown in for good measure.

 Who talks real sense to you?

My girlfriend La’Verne. She is my best friend and even though she lives in New Jersey and I in New York we still call each other on a regular basis. She is my spiritual Sister.

Do you have a favorite board game?

I used to like those Pop O Matic games when I was a kid. Like the one called Trouble. Anything by Milton Bradley was great fun!

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

Grateful for starting my new position at work. I really enjoy working nights. Everyone has been friendly and helpful. The 4:30 pm to 12:30 am Midnight shift was made for me.

Extremely Grateful that after being somewhat off-grid for a week I finally got Internet Web Access today. Also Grateful for my trusty Samsung Galaxy Cell Phone with its wonderful WordPress App that allowed me to keep on posting from the Herkimer Laundromat, MTA Subway stations outfitted with WiFi and during break times on the job.

 

October Fall Foliage Walk in Central Park


 

 

Here I am the Black Fran Drescher with my nasally New York voice narrating today’s walk through Central Park.  Did not know I sounded like Fran Drescher because well, how often do we listen to the sound of our own voice?  Anyway as you listen to me narrate the joys of NYC’s Central Park know that I will never be asked to do Voice-Overs unless it’s for some type of cartoon or dorky video game!! LOL!!  🙂   😀

When I was a young girl I enjoyed a TV program called On The Road with Charles Kuralt. I’d tune in just to see where his adventures took him. Exciting. I always wanted to be a combination of Charles Kuralt and Zora Neale Hurston the famous African-American writer however as I’m nearly legally blind my driving days are long over. Me driving would be like putting Mr. Magoo behind the wheel! Also I cannot be too far from my brother Stephen who has Autism because his group home needs to stay in contact with me. But it still is a wonderful fantasy!

Nature has been my solace. Parks and Botanic Gardens re-energize, invigorate and provide me with a sense of peace. Within the steel, glass and concrete of New York City one can still find many green spaces. Also New York is more than the Big Apple which is what most people see in the media, TV, magazines and movies. Upstate New York is more rural and if I had the time and money I would spend a summer exploring those cities.

When my Dad was alive we did go to Saratoga, New York one summer for a day or two. Saratoga is famous for horse racing. We did not see the horses run but spent a wonderful time exploring the great outdoors.  Saratoga is also famous for its therapeutic hot springs something I really need since I suffer from chronic back and arthritis pain!

When Stephen and I were kids Daddy would take us every summer on the Circle Line cruises to Bear Mountain. Circle Line also went to West Point and Daddy always gave us a choice between the two and like clockwork every time we chose Bear Mountain. Never saw any bears (Thank Goodness) but again we enjoyed Nature and just being outdoors!  Getting on those hiking trails and seeing the different types of trees, flowers, and other flora! Oh for the good old days!!

In my Nature Get-A-Way Fantasy Stephen and I load up our 21st Century Winnebago, make ourselves comfortable inside our luxury vehicle while our personal driver takes us up and down the East coast of the U.S.A. periodically making stops to take in the Great Outdoors!!  Stephen and I would have our fancy cameras photographing flora, fauna, wildlife & all the wonders of Gaia.  And Yes we would bring kitty cat Sylvester with us! After all cannot leave our Feline Friend behind!!

May all your travel dreams come true!! Wanderlust!!
