Touring an 1817 Home on National Dr. in Newark

Today I enjoyed the experience of touring one of Newark's oldest homes with one of my Clients. This two-story home on National Dr. dates all the way back to 1817!

Unfortunately fire struck the interior a while ago and most of the house suffered smoke damage.

With the home being vacant and without electricty, this tour seemed like an episode of Ghost Hunters. Lots of nooks and crannies in this home, and luckily no ghosts or signs of paranormal activity. :)

If you look closely you can see the smoke damage on the staircase.

What a house this was at one time, and hopefully someone will come along who wants to restore it!

Enjoying a Day at The Works!

Phil Frye The Real Estate Guy and daughter Grace enjoyed a few hours on Sunday at The Works in downtown Newark. We renewed our Family Membership for just $60 and met up with Aunt Elizabeth and cousins Michael, Zack, Rachel, and Anna and covered most of the hands on gadgets and science experiments in just a couple of hours.

The girls got to dress up as pioneer girls and make designs on paper in The Print Shop (picture in top left: Anna, Rachel, and Grace.)

The kids also got to experiment with electricity and successfully avoided getting shocked. It took me 10 minutes to make my lightbulb light up, but only took eight-year-old Zack five minutes to figure his out (picture in the top right: Rachel, Zack, Michael, and Grace.)

And finally, Grace got to test drive a dragster (picture right).

CENTURY 21 Frank Frye Real Estate and Phil Frye the Real Estate Guy strongly recommend visiting The Works in downtown Newark.

Light Up a Life for Hospice of Central Ohio

Seven-year-old Grace Frye recently participated in Hospice of Central Ohio's Light Up a Life at Indian Mound Mall in Heath, OH.

After making a cash donation to Hospice of Central Ohio, Grace wrote the name of her Great Grandma Fitch on a paper dove, placed it on a Christmas tree, and then turned on a Christmas light bulb near the paper dove in memory of Madge Fitch who passed away in Nov. after being in Hospice of Central Ohio's care for five years. 

Phil Frye has served on the Hospice of Central Ohio Board Directors for eight years, and has had three Grandparents as patients in Hospice of Central Ohio.

Baby Anna Turns Two!

Baby Anna Crist recently celebrated her second birthday with family at her home. The birthday girl was treated to chocolate cake with purple Dora icing. Aunt Molly, Uncle Phil, and Cousin Grace gave Anna a Dora Backpack equipped with sound and a map. "Backpack! Backpack!"

Happy 7th Birthday Gracie!

Grace Frye turned 7 years old on Dec. 21! Happy Birthday to the Best Little Girl in the World!

Dad and Grace spent Sat. at Indian Mound Mall where Grace found out even though she's a big girl, she can still ride the rides in the Food Court.

Sometimes I wish I could still fit in the airplace without rupturing a tendon or vital organ.

Happy Birthday Grace!!!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

This Christmas Tree lights up the living room of the Frye's quaint home in the bustling city of Newark. Phil's guitars had to be moved in order to make room for this short needle tree, but at last check, at least one guitar had made its way back to the living room.

Molly, Grace, and Phil found this beauty among several fields of trees at Stout's Tree Farm in Utica. The Frye's recommend this place that features friendly people and customers that welcome dogs and kids. There was also free coffee, cookies, hot chocolate, and candy on a tree for kids in the barn. The trees were also reasonably priced.

Merry Christmas from the Frye's!
