This former B&B looks like it is having a Basquiat moment!  Jean-Michel Basquiat would be highly amused!!

Has Keanu Reeves (actor) turned into a Hip-Hop Kitty Cat? Or has he just lent his voice to this crazy looking movie?  Who knows?  I have never and will never try to get Sylvester to wear anything other than his Tuxedo Greatness!!

Funking for Jamaica

Today I was in my old neighborhood “Funkin’ For Jamaica!! Dig it!!

Tom Browne – Funkin’ For Jamaica

After visiting my brother Stephen at his training center AABR I went for a walk down memory land along Jamaica Avenue and Merrick Blvd. in Jamaica, Queens.

This is where I grew up and walking the streets brings back many fond growing up memories. Lots of studying and research at the Queens Public Library on Merrick Blvd. I also cut class. A Lot. Spending my time at the Library!! LOL!!  🙂  However once my Dad Edward G. Palmer found out needless to say No More Playing Hooky from School for me!

Today I was on a more noble mission to secure an IDNYC Card. Yes I already have a Driver’s License and my New York State Security License but the IDNYC Card affords New York City residents many more benefits. Plus my card will have the Veterans Designation.  You make an appointment at http://www.nyc.gov at your local library. Even though I currently live in Brooklyn, I’m more familiar with the Queens Library since I grew up in Jamaica, Queens. One has to have proof of New York City residency, a photo ID and if you are a Veteran you must have your DD 214 (Discharge papers).  After much digging (I ETS’d from the U.S. Army in 1981) I found a ratty copy.  Thankfully all my documents were accepted. I was processed and should receive my actual card in about two or three weeks!!  Hooray!! Victory!!

Happy Day at the Brooklyn Museum with Stephen

 

My brother Stephen and I enjoyed a very happy time today at the Brooklyn Museum. When we got home after a snack Stephen worked on a collage. Stephen did not finish his Art Masterpiece today but this will be an ongoing project for a while.  The Brooklyn Museum BKM Eastern Parkway Bowl was delicious!! Yummy!!

New York as Holiday Village

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Events

CEE’S FUN FOTO CHALLENGE: EVENTS

Our Day exploring the Christmas decoration windows at Macy’s and Lord & Taylor!  You will also find photos of Sylvester examining my new cat slippers. (Kinda looks like him, dontcha think?)  Stephen got Frog slippers. We purchased our Holiday goodies at Bryant Park Winter Village which features many Holiday vendors. I also took a picture of their Christmas Tree which is near the skating rink. Nobody was ice skating since it is way too warm & the ice is melting. We briefly went inside Macy’s but since it was totally chaotic we made a mad dash back outside. Lord & Taylor was more welcoming with a lot less shoppers. We lingered taking photos of both L&T’s Christmas windows and the decorations inside the store. The NYPL The New York Public Library Lions also known as Patience & Fortitude are wearing Wreaths to celebrate the Holiday Season.  Cheers to All!!
