Day 237:
It’s Monday – a day to catch up on work since I was out all weekend showing homes – how wonderful!
Even though I made a quick trip to the A&P in Brewster yesterday in-between appointments, I had to go grocery shopping again today – gosh, if I only had the past 10 years of what I’ve spent on food – I’d be rich!
So, a quick trip to Shaws – and to buy pellets – gas up David’s car – back home and back to work until it was time to deliver Amanda’s dinner at school while she continues with theatre practice for the big show this coming weekend at New Fairfield High School!

Day 235:
Rain, rain go away…
A very rainy Saturday as I met with new clients in Brewster NY. We viewed a total of 5 homes and I was soaked as I made my way to the office to wait for appointment #2 – which happen to be with a very good friend of mine. We viewed 3 homes and had a ball – wet and all!
Here is a list of the homes I viewed with my first appointment…
- 814 Route 22 – Brewster NY
- 2617 Carmel Ave – Brewster NY
- 47 North Brewster Rd – Brewster NY
- 7 W Worthington – Carmel NY
- 50 Homer Dr – Brewster NY
My 2nd appointment included a Historic home in Patterson NY. I always enjoy viewing older homes and seeing each and every detail and wondering how families first lived there…
Here are the homes we viewed…

I arrived home in the evening – just in time for a great dinner that my son David made. Then, computer work and got myself ready for tomorrow’s appointment.

Day 199:
Yeah! Friday!! Although, my favorite day started out with having to drop off Amanda at school at 6am – way too early and dark for me!
By 7:45, Melissa and I headed into the Bronx so she could have her 4 wisdom teeth extracted – poor Melissa! I must say, the dentist and her staff took very good care of her and it only took us an hour and 5 minutes to get from New Fairfield, CT to the Bronx – and I was driving!
A quick stop at Rite Aid in Brewster to pick up her meds – antibiotics and pain killers. Then home to get her settled and to work a bit before heading back out. Jonathan had 10 friends sleep over so a trip to Shaws for snacks – or I should say, junk food!

Day 190:
Wednesday! Stopped by the office, then a trip to the bank and A&P in Brewster, NY. I couldn’t believe how many seagulls there was in the parking lot…
Then Ma and I grabbed some lunch and it was back home to get some work done before my meeting with Network for Free. This evening, we had a Speed Networking event in Danbury, CT. We grouped into two’s – had a few minutes to exchange business cards and discuss what we did. I met a fellow Realtor, some Tech and Marketing people, an Antique Restorations person and many more! During this time, we were taken aside and given a few minutes to shoot a video with Mike Evans – Digital Video Productions – and discuss what we do and offer to the public. I can’t wait to see mine to see if what I asked for was done – take 10 pounds and 10 years off my appearance – LOL!
Leader of our group – Scott Blanchard – Loan Officer – Mortgage Force Newtown, CT
The event was held at PES – Plaza Executive Suites and what a wonderful evening it was!

Day 182:
CLOSING DAY! My clients have a big day today – they are closing on their first home in Brewster, NY!
But first, I have a lovely Doctors appointment that I must attend also in Brewster.
Here is my view of the ceiling while I was waiting for the Doc to come in…
Then – my fear and worry of being at the doctors office changed to full excitment for my wonderful – and I really mean wonderful – clients. Here I am at the closing in Mr. Hogan’s office in Brewster…

Day 177:
Today I was able to get some work accomplished before heading out. Our first stop was A&P in Brewster, NY…
Then a quick stop at Brewster Liquors for some Portuguese wine…
Terra dos Lobo – Red Wine (Translation – Land of the Wolves)
We enjoyed some Chinese Food for lunch – then went to one of our favorite stores – HomeGoods – and a quick stop at Walmart in Danbury, CT.
A nice day, spent with my mom – then it was back home and back to work.

Day 175:
At the top of our list of things to do today is - LAUNDRY! My mother and I took 8 loads to Laundry Plus in Brewster, NY – about 15 minutes from home.
We put everything to wash and took off to A&P for some grocery shopping – a few phone calls and e-mails came in during our adventure at the laundry mat!
After shopping, we went back to the laundry mat – threw everything into dryers and then went for a quick lunch – also in the same shopping center. Came back – folded and left to get gas and a stop at the Brewster Post Office.

Day 174:
Monday – and I have a Doctors appointment today in Mt. Kisco with the Mt. Kisco Medical Group. Usually, I’m seen in the Southeast office which is only about 20 minutes away, but it’s good to know that if someone needs to be seen right away, between both offices, you can get an appointment.
Before leaving, I had to drop off Sara at school and noticed the tree that was full of snow last week is bare now…
I have no idea why I noticed this and why I’m mentioning it – ??
After my doctor’s appointment, my mother and I stopped to do some laundry in Brewster, NY at Laundry Plus. My washer is only 10 months old and it’s not working – Hmmm… maybe it has something to do with the fact that I wash 4 to 6 loads a day! Well, we are a family of 7 and with my mom here visiting from Portugal for a few months – that makes 8 – so loads and loads of wash that I do a day is just inevitable. Having no washer for a few days is just impossible, so I decided to try out a laundry mat…
We washed one large load, just to try it out and decided to come back tomorrow with more after seeing that it is a clean, large, bright place with many washers – 4 different sizes – and dryers – as well as a television and sofas to sit and relax.

Day 172:
It’s a sunny – but cold – Saturday morning and I have an appointment in Brewster, NY.
My clients, which are first time home buyers, have a closing scheduled for next week and came over to the home to go over a few things with the current owners. One item on their list was to go through the plantings around the property. We walked through the snow and I could only imagine how beautiful the landscaping will be in the Spring. For today, we froze while tracking through the snow…

Day 160:
It snowed today – bummer – just when almost all of it was melted! Although, I must admit, the large-fluffy snowflakes were pretty…
After breakfast, my mom and I set out to Brewster, NY for errands – the liquor store, lunch and the bank…
During this time, I received e-mails regarding appointments on 2 of my listings and a call from a client who has finally sold his home in Florida – Congrats Norm and Carol!
Then, off to Danbury, CT for grocery shopping at ShopRite – Wahoo… New Years is in the air!

Day 130:
It’s Sunday – I can not believe how quickly this long weekend has gone!
Meeting new potential clients today – showing them 1 house in Brewster, NY and then moving unto New Fairfield, CT for a few homes there. Stopped at the office before heading out and was able to accomplish a few things…
Meeting new potential clients is always exciting. These were a young couple with a small child and one on the way and interested in moving further north. Currently, they have their home on the market and are looking into different areas of New York and Connecticut.
After our last showing – in New Fairfield, CT – we passed the town hall where the Lighting of the Tree ceremony was happening. Christmas is in the air!

Day 112:
Finally – Closing for my clients is fully confirmed for tomorrow! They are so relieved and I can’t wait to once again witness and know I was a part of the purchase of another First Time Home Buyer.
Since I had David’s car during the morning – it was errands on the top of my list. Bank - and the Office in Brewster, NY – and back to New Fairfield, CT to the Liquor Store for Wine – and Shaw’s for some more groceries and pellets…

For dinner, I made homemade Pizza and Soup – Yum! I worked until a little after midnight – big day tomorrow, so a decent amount of sleep is necessary – I’ll get a whole 6 hours! Ha! Then I wonder why I have bags under my eyes…

Day 111:
Happy Veteran’s Day! and Happy Birthday Jonathan – my youngest turns 14 today!!
All the kids are home today – left them enjoying Jonathan’s gift – a new X-Box 360 - while I flew to the office – Century 21 VJF Realty – did some needed paperwork – then headed out to meet with my clients – First Time Home Buyers purchasing a home in Brewster, NY. Today was their inspection day!
All went well – Dennis with Mr. Inside Out – thoroughly inspected the home, even getting up on the roof – which some inspectors will not do – and discussing helpful tips on living with a home that has a well and septic system.

Then I was off to the races! Picked up Melissa at the Danbury Fair Mall – she worked until 2pm and her car is still being repaired! Then stopped at the A & P in Danbury, CT .
Then home to make dinner – since it’s Jonathan’s Birthday, he got to choose – it was Meatballs and spaghetti. Afterwards, we had Ice Cream Cake and wished Jonathan a wonderful year!

Day 109:
Early – really, really early wake up time for me today – Ugh! Faith picked me up at around 5:20 – AM! to meet with Linda, Eva and Faith. We made our way from Brewster, NY to Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino in Uncasville, CT for Century 21 annual New England Fall Fest. Did I mention we left really, really early.

This all day event started with breakfast and trade show – I purchased a blouse with the Century 21 logo – hope it fits. We moved on to a motivational speech, breakout sessions and a lovely lunch in the middle of it all.

Before heading home, we decided to take advantage of being at a casino and gamble! I spent a whole 5 bucks. Yup - 5 whole dollars!

After a day of Education – Motivation – Eating – and fun, we made our way back home…

Patterson, NY Town Hall
Well, today, Thursday, was a good day. One of my clients, who is purchasing his first home in Patterson, NY, met with his mortgage broker and contracts are awaiting his signature. Another couple/clients of mine are in the process of negotiating on a beautiful home in Brewster, NY. And, a lovely couple, also purchasing their first home in Southbury, CT, are anxiously waiting for a commitment from their bank. I have my fingers crossed! Also, my clients/sellers and I are going out on Saturday to view a few homes in anticipation that they receive an offer soon – therefore allowing them to purchase soon! Other clients are staying in touch via e-mail – inquiring on listings and waiting to hear if the tax credit will be extended. Well, it looks like it will! And not only for First-Time Home Buyers – more info will be announced and I can’t wait!
