Memorial Day – Weekend – Light Up the BBQ!
Can you believe it’s Memorial Day – weekend already! I tend to associate this time with going to the beach – which most people do – BUT, it’s too cold! Although, it’s perfect weather for having the family over for a barbecue!
If your looking for tips on what to make – or what to bring – The Food Network has great ideas like – Corn, Avocado & Tomato Salad, Long Island Green Tea and Banana Smores! One good tip is to maybe just pick 1 or 2 new recipes to incorporate into your menu. Also, plan ahead, make a list and have the kids help. And most importantly, make sure your guests have a designated driver.
My husband and I will be having our families over – his coming up from Mount Vernon, NY and my brother coming from Brookfield, CT and my sister making a very long trip from her home to mine… just 5 minutes away in New Fairfield, CT!
I wish you and your family a happy and safe Memorial Day – Weekend!
WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

GETTING TO KNOW ME
As a full time REALTOR in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in NEW YORK – and Fairfield and parts of Litchfield counties in CONNECTICUT , I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share my passions on REAL ESTATE, FAMILY, PETS, anything and everything in and around a HOME – including COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!
I have been married for 25+ years to my wonderful husband Joe. We have 5 children – Melissa, David, Amanda, Sara and Jonathan. After waiting anxiously – for almost 17 years, being home with my kids for 10 and a Nursery school teacher for 7 years – I FINALLY became a Licensed Realtor – first in Connecticut - where my family and I live – and then in New York – where my office, Century 21 V.J.F. Realty is located.
I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York. My parents, who came to the US from Portugal, were extremely hard working – with even stronger ethics on being good to everyone – everywhere – period! “Faz bem, nao olhes a quem.” This has been instilled in me all my life, which has made me the mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and the REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
