Let’s go on a Picnic

You can have a Picnic just about anywhere – park, beach, backyard, balcony, out of your trunk,… anywhere. All you need is a blanket, some good food and drinks!

From Kraft Foods here is a great recipe for Picnic Macaroni Salad ~ Picnic Pita ~ Picnic Menu

So go out into the fresh air – along with good food and drink, bring a magazine, book, your I-pod – or nothing at all – just relax and have some good conversation!

It’s Sunday and no appointments, not something I’m very used to since Sundays can be busy for me. Although, I still have lots of work to do – searching listings – sending e-mails – texting clients – and of course… posting on my Blog.

My son David suggested that we get pizza for lunch – we don’t order out much and since I feel like I just left the kitchen after making and cleaning up from our Pancake Sunday, I caved in. Bruno’s Pizza in New Fairfield – is delicious!

It’s almost midnight – my work is done early today, including updating all my leads in our Lead Router – Yahoo!

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.
