Travel theme: Indoors
The first photo is a Family Photo Collage I created for our Employee Art Show back in 2012. Spent many hours indoors working on my Masterpiece.
My brother Stephen Vincent Palmer has Autism and lives at a Group Home in Queens but visits me as much as possible. I Live in Brooklyn and one of our favorite places to go is the Brooklyn Museum. We get much inspiration from the Museum which inspired Stephen and I to collaborate on a collage. Since we don’t get to see each other as often as we would like, (I work full-time) it will take a while before the Collage becomes a finished art work.
Last year we also went to the New York City Transit Museum located in Brooklyn, New York. As you can see Stephen enjoyed mimicking Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason) of the TV Show The Honeymooners. The last two photos are of Stephen’s 55th Birthday Party Celebration. Hard to believe that my baby brother turned 55 last May 3rd!!

CEE’S ODD BALL PHOTO CHALLENGE: 2016 WEEK 22
Today’s Funny Story!
Stephen and I went to the 12:10 showing of X-Men Apocalypse at the Jamaica Multiplex theater located in Jamaica, Queens, New York.
We got into the movie for only $20 bucks.
Me as a Senior and Stephen as my child!!
All by showing my AARP card! LOL!!
Let’s see now! Stephen just turned 55 earlier this month and I turned 57 back in February. Hmmm… That means I was two years old when I had my brother!! Ha!! Ha!!

CEE’S ODD BALL PHOTO CHALLENGE: 2016 WEEK 19
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.
These are some old Oddballs from my Photo Archives. Enjoy!
Friendship
My baby brother Stephen Vincent Palmer. Not just my sibling but my Best Friend. Some people think that having a sibling with a developmental disability such as Autism would be a burden. Not for me. I’m always seeking ways that we can spend more time together. Stephen is my Hero and I look up to him as much as he looks up to me as the big older sister. He has Blessed my life in so many ways that I would not change a thing. Everyone should be as fortunate to have a Stephen Palmer in their lives.
Here we are eating Chocolate Cake and Ice Cream on his 55th Birthday this past May 3rd.
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!!

The following song has nothing to do specifically with Jamaica, Queens but it is one of my Back in the Day Old School Favorites!!

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!!
