Walk on the Wild(life management) Side...

LEAVING BROOKLYN!

You know how our esteemed Borough President feels about that!

Larry and I are trading in the wildlife in NYC for the wildlife of Whiting, NJ.

*** 35 B Sunset Rd

Whiting, NJ

My new backyard will be a 1200 acre WMA.

The actual transfer of ownership is on Monday the 15th, but the fun has already begun.

I have been packing, unpacking, repacking and

Shopping, Shopping, Shopping!!!!!

I might as well just sign my paycheck over to Ikea.

Larry might be feeling a bit insecure about moving.

But when the path to the 1200 Acre WMA area is just outside the kitchen door...

View of the kitchen door and side of house.

It's really hard to have reservations about trading in 678 sq. feet on the 3rd floor of a walk up for 1200 acre backyard.

But in the meantime,

the apartment is beginning to look like a warehouse. There are boxes everywhere.

I brought a lot of boxes to the storage room for the movers to move next week,

I never know what I am going to find in there when I go!

Don't Larry!

I'll get Dwight Goodbear from the car and everything will be all right.

Whew! that was a close call, got there just in a nick of time.

Blast from the past!

For the past 5 years most of my stuff and some of Larry's has been sitting in a storage room in Staten Island. When the movers asked me what was in the room, I forgot. I just knew I had boxes and boxes of stuff.

Good-bye stuff see you next week in NJ!

One of Larry's biggest complaints about me is that I don't know right from left and I have no sense of direction. The last time we went for a walk in the WMA behind the house, we missed the path to go back to the car. All the trails look the same

I was determined to find a way so that I wouldn't need search parties to find me in the woods.

Thanks to Costco I will always be able to find my way out of the woods.

Where's the car???

I don't know, let me check?

I feel much better now.

One of the things I know I am going to like about Whiting, NJ is the pick your own vegetable farms. I bought fresh fruit and vegetables from the farm stand last week.

$16.74 for 4 shopping bags of just picked produce.

unknown variety of winter squash

some of the fresh vegetables from the farm stand.

Monday, all the pieces should start falling into place...

Let the good times roll!

to be con't....
