Day 164:
Happy New Years Day and Welcome 2010!!!
I am hopeful that I can say goodbye to 2009 and Welcome a better year in 2010!
Most of my guests from yesterday came back today. We ate and chatted and then went into the den to watch “Four Christmases” with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn…
What a funny and entertaining movie. Everyone enjoyed the movie – young and old. What a nice way to start off the New Year!

Day 163:
Happy New Years Eve!!
My guests started to arrive at around 6:30. Leading up to this time, we cooked – cleaned and I did some work, hoping the results will be good in the new year.
Joe was busy cooking the lobsters. Earlier today, he went to China Town and bought 30 of them to eat individually and some were used in a seafood stew – Mariscada – that my mom made. The stew also included shrimp, scallops, squid, clams and oysters – all in a delicious red sauce served with rice on the side. We also roasted pork, roast beef, potatoes – and had veggies and salad and of course started with appetizers. By the time dessert came around, it was almost midnight. One of our sweet treats was a birthday cake for my sister Lisa. She was born on New Years Eve – HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA!!
Lot’s of eating…
Lot’s of celebrating…
and lot’s of praying for a good New Year in 2010!

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.
