Just like many things, Thanksgiving for most of us will look and feel a little different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is also true for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, it will happen just in a little different way. 

 

MACY’S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE

LET'S CELEBRATE TOGETHER—AT HOME!

WATCH IT LIVE FROM 34TH STREET ONLY ON NBC,

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 9AM-NOON IN ALL TIME ZONES!

 

Since we aren’t marching down the streets of NYC this year, the only place to see all the performances, gigantic balloons & fabulous floats is from the comfort & safety of your home.

 

Visit their website,  https://www.macys.com/social/parade/, for lots of additional information about this event, including tools for parents and teachers, lineup info, news, FAQs, behind the scenes and Studio Tours just to name a small portion.

FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOUR WE WISH YOU A SAFE AND HAPPY THANKSIGVING!

TIME CHANGE IS THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN THIS YEAR

This year we go back to Standard Time on Sunday 11/1, when the majority of the USA will be “falling back”  as they change the clocks.  With the time change happening on the busy Halloween weekend, we want to remind you to do one of the most important things- Replace the batteries in your Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors. 

Fall is a time to prep for the winter inside and out around your home, here is a Fall Home Tasks List for your review!

If you've been thinking at all about selling your home, you might want to consider that now is a great time to enter the market. 

Demand for homes from both in and out of state buyers is high this Fall.

While you enjoy the movie, how about a Halloween snack, and better yet, why not let the kids create the snack earlier in the day.

 

Halloween Rice Krispies Treats

Using your favorite Rice Krispies Treats recipe, be it the original recipe with marshmallow or one of the many other recipe flavors.  Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray, or prepare pan according to the recipe directions. Using wax paper, press mixtures onto pan. Cool. Then use Halloween cookie cutters to stamp out shapes, if desire decorate with candy of choice and melted chocolate in a piping bag.

 Enjoy during the movie!

If you're content where you are, we completely understand.  But if you think you might be interested in selling your home at any point in the near future, this is a great chance to explore your options with our FREE MARKET PRICE ANALYSIS.
