My Adventure in New York
It was the Fourth of July...
It was the Fourth of July and I had booked a number of plane trips to avoid my kidnappers finding out which I would take. I had lied I would go to France and was not upset and would not talk and they had let me a lot more free then ever in my life. It seemed to work. I was on that plane for more then 8 hours with a stop in between and then the arrival in NYC.
The coldest winter in all history of the USA
It was the coldest winter in all history of the US ...
And I did not have a home, or a job. I was learning how to find and trying hard, every day at Starbucks. I would always run as fast as I could from the shelters, deadly as they are to the nice ones, the white ones, and the honest ones. Deadly as they where the freezing air of down town Manhattan where better. The freezing man on the subway rack white glaze over blue nose, the frozen feet in summer shoes, the glass of water at Starbucks to fill with milk when no one was watching, oh and sugar and cinnamon. Yes I was doing great you can read. New York is not easy, New York is the toughest City in the whole wide world.
I had during these times found a little job here and there, but had to leave when the person I was going to work in place of was going to stay. I remember standing at the water seeing the entire ocean was frozen. I may find an old pic in my phone, this is a photo of the frozen ocean anyways.
Deviled Eggs
The deviled eggs at Trinity Church at Wonderful Wall Street
Oh my God, The Deviled Eggs, I will never forget. My run from the shelter in the morning always brought me to super stores to do my hair and stay clean, and Starbucks for water or milk if I could get some and then one day I found the Trinity church. I sat there watching the gatherings and prayed there with the candles and enjoyed the plays and drank from the wine and ate from the bread. I thought it was quite fantastic. One day I walked in to find a table almost entirely filled with foods, mostly with devilled eggs. I was so happy to have some food and God did I enjoy eating them. I had a lovely talk with the minister and other people and never felt more welcome.
