Playing in the Snow with Grace and Jake!


I got to take a break from Real Estate and play in the snow with my daughter Grace and her friend Jake on New Year's Eve!

We went sledding, built snowmen (mine is the muscular one on the right) and a snow fort. It's easy to forget how fun playing in the snow can be, even when you get back inside and you're cold and wet. Luckily, Molly made us all hot chocolate!

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.
