My Life as a Realtor – Day 261 thru 343

Saturday…. my first appointment was over in Heritage Hills in Somers NY …
My 2nd appointment was showing a few homes in Katonah and North Salem NY.
Our 1st home had a striking red door and interesting door knocker…
My final, evening appointment was back with my client from yesterday to the new Rivington complex in Danbury CT…
My client brought her husband along and they were so sweet together.
Then, it was back to mommy mode – food shopping and dinner was on my mind. So, I stopped at Shaw’s at 7:30 at night to find almost nothing! I had lot’s to pick from at home, but was hoping to pick something up that was quick to make. Unfortunately, Shaw’s is closing 
and Stop & Shop in coming to New Fairfield! In the end, I made a very difficult decision and bought Chinese Food for dinner… he – he!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!
Joe and I started dating on St. Patrick’s Day – 26 years ago – Whew! How time flies – really!

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…

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!

My Life as a Realtor – Day 234
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 234:
Yahoo – everyone knows I love my Fridays! Today, I got a kick out of watching Remi watching Tisha. First, he noticed her near the couch…
Then he watched her carefully going around the couch…
and finally, after he whined and made noise loud enough so that she would look up at him…
Remi loves Tisha so very much – she, on the other hand, has a kind of love for him that comes and goes – it’s only when she feels like it. She’s tiny, but she is the boss and can be feisty if he pushes her!
Then, Ma and I went to Shaws for some grocery shopping and recycling…
My Life as a Realtor – Day 233
My Life as a Realtor ~
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!
My Life as a Realtor – Day 232
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 232:
I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday – aka Garbage Day! Ma – along with the pups - helped me bring all the garbage and recycling down. You could imagine how much rubbish a family of 7 + Ma = 8 can make!
Then it was work, work, work and a quick trip to Shaws – and yes, you can also imagine how much food a family of 8 can consume!
My Life as a Realtor – Day 230
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 230:
It’s Monday – and Real Estate is getting busier – more inquires – more hours working – and I NOT complaining!
After doing some work – it was time to head to New Fairfield Middle School for a Parent-Teacher conference for my youngest – Jonathan…
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.
