My Life as a Realtor – Day 238
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 238:
Lot’s of work to do again today and I’m happy to report that the rain and clouds are gone and it is an absolute gorgeous day!! Spring isn’t until Saturday, although it has arrived today – Yeah!
Here is a pic of a beautiful – and thawed – Ball Pond…
As I made my way to the office, I realized quickly that I was over dressed. This happens every Spring - I’m afraid of being cold, so I still wear turtle necks and coats and sweat my buns off!
After going to the office, I stopped at A&P in Brewster – yes, FOOD SHOPPING AGAIN!
When I arrived home, my mom and David had made a wonderful dinner – our very 1st barbecue of the season – and – we even ate outside…

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 233:
It is Thursday and once again – busy, busy – can’t seem to catch up – but loving every single minute of being a Realtor. I have a busy weekend coming up and I am looking forward to it! Especially since I will be meeting new clients.
Today, Ma and I took a trip to Brookfield, CT - to my brother’s house.
I love that this warmer weather is bringing more little critters out and about. At home, we always make sure to have our bird feeders filled – especially in the winter months. The pic above is one of my brothers bird houses.
This bird feeder is the most used of all of our birds - I wonder if it is the house shape – since our other feeders are round and boxy shaped – Hmm??
After a quick visit with my sister-n-law and the kids, Ma and I stopped at Walmart…
Then back home and back to work until it was time to drop off dinner again for Amanda…
And once again, back home and back to work!

and a trip to New Fairfield High School to drop off dinner for Amanda. She has been practicing for the upcoming Spring play. A few more errands – then dinner – back out to pick up Amanda from practice and finally – time to work!

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.
