Life...Fun and Kentucky Real Estate

 The most fun way to drive to Lexington KY from Richmond KY is to take KY 169 (Tates Creek Rd) to Valley View and ride the famous ferry across the Kentucky River.

Every creek in Kentucky has a road beside it. Well... not all, but most of them do.

Kentucky is second behind Alaska for the state with the most waterways. How did the roads develop? I have to wonder if they first had Indians and settlers walking along them to get to the next settlement.

The paths became wider over time with wagons and carriages. Later were paved in asphalt to become our modern day roads.

One of my favorite ones is Tates Creek Road between Richmond and Lexington.

The trees are a green tunnel that has a leafy ceiling in the spring and summer. Later in the fall turns into a multi-color petals that swirl around your car as you drive through.

What is wonderful about Tates Creek Road is that it stops at the Kentucky River at a little place called Valley View. To get across the river you will need to drive your car aboard a ferry that holds 3 cars.

The Valley View Ferrywas established in 1792 and now owned by the state. It is the oldest continuous business in Kentucky. It's free of charge to use. 

Last Christmas, I surprised the captain with a pretty wrapped box of chocolate truffles. I'm sure he will remember me the next time I drive across. He probably thinks I was the only paying customer last year!

I'm always amazed how beautiful it is here in Madison County.I feel a sense of pride in showing out-of-towners around before they purchase property. Just sharing a bit of paradise is fun!

I hear you knocking but you can't come in...

The other day as we were working in the office, Jane, my assistant said, "Lizette come in here, there is a bird that keeps pecking on the window!"

I thought she was kidding. So I came into her office to see since I could clearly hear some tapping on the glass.

Over and over he tapped on our window and would perch himself in the tree to look into the window.

He did seem to want to hang around and wasn't afraid of us.

Grabbing one of my cameras, I was able to snap this picture of him.

I believe he was an American Goldfinch.

It was nice to see him and wonder what the message was that day.

Maybe, it was just for us to slow down and take a break. Real estate can be a stressful business. Don't take things so seriously. We did get a good laugh from watching him. What a beauty he was!

*I hear you knocking but you can't come in...*

 Dad, I stopped by to see you today. Yes, I know...it's been a long time. Last September maybe. I know I don't need a reason to visit your grave but when I was here last, I wanted to show you the car I had bought. You are the car collector....not me.

I just like having one at a time. Did you like it? It drives like a dream.

You always have that grin for me. Our funny secret grin.

You are never far away and your thoughts are my thoughts. Fathers' Day is not special anymore to me, it's just another day. I try to ignore it and rush through that day.

I miss that grin and laugh of yours. Has it been 15 years since I've heard it? Seems like yesterday...

You taught me how to become a good person. How to trust others, be truthful and how to be loyal.

You prepared me to be the businesswoman I am today.

After all that you taught me... you turned to me in the end to look out for you. I would have fought the world for you not to be in pain. 

In 1993 when this picture was taken, you were in Mesa, AZ. After being diagnosed with cancer, you and Mom came out to visit with me.

In our trip to the grocery I took this picture of you and now I see how much love there is in your eyes.

What were you thinking about dying? Were you frightened? You seemed so brave. 

You are my hero and always will be. I miss our life and how we were as a family. You were the glue that kept it all together. It's not the same ...but it is what it is. 

This was the Greyhound Station, Snappy Grill and Western Union on Third and Water Streets in Richmond, KY. Later added Jim's Pawn Shop.

Dad bought the Greyhound Station in 1956.

I grew up here and Dad taught me everything I know about good business, people and management.

I worked here during all my childhood learning how to deal with customers and understand not all needed to make a deal but just needed someone to listen.

People from all walks of life came through these doors over the years just to talk to "Big Jim". He always took time to listen to their problems or dreams. Sometimes he helped them out till they could get back on their feet.

You always saw him with a big cigar that he called his all day sucker. Whenever someone would ask him if something that were buying came with a guarantee, he would say "Yes! A sidewalk guarantee". Which meant after you got to the sidewalk, that was as long as it would be.

"A place to meet and enjoy good food" was a sign over the grill when he used to serve food too. My favorite was french fries and a Coke. Dad would serve it up for me when I got out of school each day.

In the early eighties I talked Dad into some TV commercials for cable. We had a blast putting them together and I would take extra pics of Dad doing silly things. He had a lot of fun and our outtakes were just as funny as the commercial.

We used one of his classic cars in one. It was a pink T-Bird and I was supposed to get out of it and sashay in to pawn it.

Everytime I got out of the car my velcroed belt would pop off my dress and I had to start over.

As I walked in Dr. Jenkins was at the counter pawning a chain saw to Dad for the scene. We had many takes till we got a good one without us laughing.

Like I said. It's just not the same but I'll always remember all the good times and jokes. There was plenty of that.

I love you Dad...I hope you are proud of how I turned out. I did it all for you and will carry on for both of us.

 Multimedia Design Artist Mike Mathews Offers Professional PC Repair In Central KY

I'd like to introduce Mike Mathews to my Central Kentucky readers. Mike has provided excellent PC repair and set up a computer network in Lizette Realty. Everything is running like new again! We are totally impressed with his skills and would be happy to refer him to others that are in need of a design artist or computer solutions.  ~Lizette~

Mike Mathews shares his story...

In 1997, I had never even heard of the Internet. I took my first job as a graphic designer and was plopped down in front of what was considered a state of the art computer. To service these PCs you needed a specialist and, believe it or not, those specialists charged $500 per hour. After several $1500+ repair bills, I decided to investigate.

Every time we had a problem, their solution was to completely erase our computer drives and start over from scratch, a process that only takes couple of hours. They spent their time surfing the Internet until they had accrued enough time and then just erased the PC's drives.

It was time for me to learn how to fix my own PCs. Unfortunately, everything I found was confusing and intimidating at best. I gave up and resigned to being swindled by the PC thieves.

I took a job as Senior Multimedia Designer for a large studio in Boulder, CO, the computers I needed to do my job were considerably more powerful and considerably more expensive. My new office was located next door to the tech support team.

On occasion I noticed these guys bringing in PCs that looked like something out of Star Wars. Curiosity got the better of me and I asked how much a beast like that would cost.

My jaw dropped when they told me and to my surprise the price was about 1/3 that of my own super computer in my personal studio. As a designer, I was well aware that my business and the tools needed to conduct my business were only going to get more expensive as time went on. I made a decision. I walked into their office and offered them each a complete design package for their own tech support businesses.

Logo's, websites, brochures, the whole nine yards... on one condition, they had to teach me how to build and fix PCs. For the next 3 years they showed me the ropes. Today, I build my own Star Wars computers for my design, animation and recording studio at home. I repair any issues with my PCs quickly, efficiently and for no more than the cost of the pieces of hardware.

I'm a multimedia design artist and consultant for companies like Jim Beam Brands, Johnson & Johnson and NBC. In all of my studios, I'm the senior designer and the resident PC tech or "Computer Guy". When my daughter Mia was born, we moved to Berea KY. After growing up in a small town in Iowa, I knew that I wanted to raise her in a place where I could trust and talk to neighbors. The life of a professional designer is a little to busy to allow me to be a father, so I only do designing part time now.

I decided that there were probably plenty of people like me who were sick of being swindled by PC repair companies. Buying expensive laptops that stopped working after a couple years. Getting viruses on their PCs even though they had anti-virus software installed. Finally, being told that the only way to fix anything was to completely erase their hard drives, loose all of their files and start over.

So here I am in Kentucky! I used to be called an artist, now people call me a geek... but you can call me Mike.

You can reach Mike at : 859-302-2635 or micheal@sub7th.com   www.s7repairs.com

Redbud Winter In Kentucky

A long time ago (in the late 60's) my Grandmother Elizabeth(Mamaw) was visiting our farm at White Hall in Richmond, Kentucky. What a beautiful place that was!

A stately old 2 story home with 2 staircases inside sitting in between numerous maple trees. It later blew away in the tornado of 1974.

We had  two barns for horses on 33 acres also. We had just moved in, but Dad wanted to plant our garden so we would have veggies all summer.

He consulted with the Farmer's Almanac to be sure when to plant. The timing had to be just right.

That was when I first heard of the "other seasons" we have here in Kentucky.

As we were sitting on the back porch one night sipping sweet tea, Mamaw said we had 4 extra winters before summer would be here.

I'm not quite sure of the order but I think they are: Redbud Winter, Dogwood Winter, Locust Winter and Blackberry Winter.

Somehow winter shows up each time as each one blooms and hopefully it doesn't get cold enough to freeze.

If we are lucky and the spring weather will be perfect hopefully, all the new buds on the trees will not freeze and die!!!

It seems like everything is blooming all at once this year in my yard. There is a layer of yellow pollen on every surface.

The robins are spending time building another nest in my front door wreath. I've been told that it is a sign of good luck and prosperity so I am letting them get away with it for now.

Ahhh...it's nice for spring to be here!

Bechtel Parsons - Blue Grass Army Depot - Richmond KY Relocation -

Homes For Sale

Every spring, I love to work with Kentucky relocation clients and I also deal with the mommy Robins. Believe me... I'm just waiting for spring to show up right now! The clients are already arriving and we have been out touring homes.

Back at the office...the Robins try to build their nests in the hanging baskets if I put them out too early. Last year I thought I had outsmarted them because I held off on buying the ferns till the first of May.

I have a wreath on the front door that one Robin tried to put some twigs in to get it started. Those I threw out and I thought she had given up.

One day I noticed a bird flying off my wreath again but this time when I took a closer look I found a whole nest right at the very top.

As I brought a stool out of the office to get a better look I saw it was too late to tear it down...there were 3 little blue eggs inside.

Now, I was committed to waiting it out. This became a job because everyone opens the front door. I became fearful that the door would open too quickly and the bird would fly into the room.

Finally, this fear beame real when a friend opened the door too fast and mommy Robin was flying around and hitting the ceiling in the living room!!

That had my heart pumping for a few minutes till we could get both doors open and get her to fly out! Whew! This was starting to be another job!

The 3 babies(Larry,Curlie & Moe)were getting their feathers and I patiently waited for them to learn how to fly so I could have some closure.

As you can see they are not afraid of me at all and would even let me touch their beaks. That's cool!

Yeah...life is sure exciting here at Lizette Realty where Kentucky relocation is a speciality!

KOTO Japanese Bistro Richmond Centre Richmond KY

At last...KOTO Japanese Bistro has arrived! All of us in Richmond KY have been driving by the building in the Richmond Centre for months with our mouths watering just waiting for the grand opening.

About the name:

The koto (琴 or 箏) is a traditional Japanese stringed musical instrument
derived from the Chinese guzheng. The koto is the national instrument of Japan.

I was honored to be one of the first guests to sample the food a day before the Grand Opening.

I headed over with a BFF(Dee) and was warmly welcomed by Charlie the General Manager and the staff including Tony the Bar Manager and Sasha. KOTO is owned by Mr. Dong, this is his second restaurant in KY. The first, Asian Royal is located in Georgetown KY.

The elegant decor is warm with lots of wood and tall back leather chairs. Attention to detail is evident everywhere. There is a large fountain at the front door and the bar is to the right.

One of the highlights and there are many would be that Richmond KY will finally have a first class sushi bar.

Equally amazing is the heated hibachi grill at the tables where food is prepared fresh.

The key ingredients are the meats, seafood, rice noodles and vegetables. The sauces are meant to enhance the flavor of foods, not over power them.

Enjoy a dining experience where each dish is prepared to order on smokeless hibachi tables and presented with artistic flair, right before you!

Our chef Joe at KOTO Japanese Bistro was trained I think in New York City and was one of the best entertainers I have seen at hibachi grills and I have eaten at quite a few all over the USA. His real home is in Laguna beach.

It was a blast watching him expertly prepare our food and serve it up.

Joe wouldn't miss a beat even if we commented on his style or to each other. Amazing concentration!

I think he super-sized our meals because there was so much food I had plenty for lunch today. It was good heated up again too!

My next dining adventure at KOTO will have to be the sushi bar. I have really missed having one close by. I'll have to do another review once I sample sushi.

It's nice to have so many new and good restaurants now in the Richmond Centre. Business is booming in Richmond KY and not a moment too soon!

Jerzees Cocktail Lounge - Comedy Club Richmond KY

I had the pleasure of checking out the grand opening of a new cocktail lounge in Richmond KY called Jerzees. Not only is it a lounge, but the night I was invited there...there was a comedy club act also.

As far as I can remember, there has never been a comedy club in Richmond KY. It's about time! Awesome idea!

Back in the 60's this downtown building was an A&P store on 122 Main Street. It's located about a block west of the court house.

The layout and decor is perfect for a cocktail lounge. Justin Waggoner and Bryson Alford have put together the perfect combination of talent and creativity to launch Jerzees.

Jerzees is a cocktail lounge that is great for all types of patrons. There was a blend of all ages the night I was there for the comedy club debut.

 Wednesday nights are country/ western night with live entertainment. Check out the pool tables too for a chance to practice your skills.

The next comedy club date will be Aug. 28th.

Buy tickets and reserve your table online. 

Jerzees is closed on Sun - Tues.

OPEN: Wed -Sat 8PM - 1AM.  

Check out Jerzees website.

Chick-Fil-A Richmond Centre Richmond Ky Grand Opening

Richmond KY finally has a Chick-Fil-A in the Richmond Centre! I happened to drive by the night before the grand openingand witnessed all the hoopla.

The Chick-Fil-A parking lot was wall to wall with tents filled with prospective customers that wanted to be one in a hundred that would be fed a free meal once a week for a year. To do this you have to be in line before they open the door at 6:30 AM.

So devoted fans pitch a tent, armed with sleeping bags, tents, blankets, games, ipods and books and wait it out. Many Richmond KY fans were right in the mix will the die hard fans that follow every Chick-Fil-A grand opening across the USA.

They battle the elements to be in line. I think this group got rained on in the early morning hours. When I stopped by, they were dancing the Hokey Pokey being led by the Chick-Fil-A cow.

I loved the vehicle in the lot that said, "Eat more chickin". I snapped a pic of the back end.

My Mom is a huge fan of Chick-Fil-A but she didn't plan on sitting in a tent all night for the grand opening. She'll pick up her chickin the easy way at the drive thru!

It sure is nice to have a few good places to go to in Richmond Centre. I think the next ones will be Olive Garden and Panara Bread.

Richmond KY is really starting to expand on exit 87 off I-75. To have the Richmond Centre nearby to housing will be easy to walk to shopping, theaters and restaurants.

The grand opening of the Chick-Fil-A in Richmond KY is a welcome addition! YUM!

Chick-Fil-A Richmond Centre Richmond Ky Grand Opening

Paddy Wagon Irish Pub Richmond Kentucky is the place to have fun.

Third time is charm for the owners, Greg Ferrell and Chuck Fields.

Established in 2004 on Water Street...then Paddy Wagon Irish Pub moved to Main Street in 2006 for a year a few doors up from the new location still in Richmond KY.

Then suddenly it burned to the ground in the middle of the night.  

The famous fire is still one of Richmond KY's unexplained mysteries.

Fire investigators scratched their heads in puzzlement as to the cause.

"Hmmmm...It could be this...or could be that." Who really knows what caused  Paddy Wagon Irish Pub to burn to the ground. Or do fires burn up? Whatever the case... it has remained a mystery in Richmond KY.

All that was saved that fateful night from the pub was an Irish clock, 1 sign and a few police patches.

Both Greg and Chuck teach criminal justice at EKU so the patches were a collection of police patches that patrons donated when they visited Paddy Wagon.

I've been in bars that have unique collections of $1 bills(Tortilla Flat, AZ), neckties(Carefree, AZ) and bras(Key West).  

The idea for the Irish pub came from a trip to Ireland when they toured the Guinness Factory, Dublin and to the north...Belfast. Armed with information and local souvenirs Chuck came up with the décor for the inside of  Paddy Wagon Irish Pub.

The name of the pub has to do with criminal justice. Maybe Irish justice?

Now open since June 26, 2008 with a plethora of beer and ale for anyone's tastes or mood. The food is great...I had a generous helping of the fish and chips and the service was spot on.

 There is a friendly atmosphere inside Paddy Wagon Irish Pub and plenty of room to park outside. Sip your beer on an outdoor deck and enjoy a Richmond KY downtown view.

Live band entertainment is on Friday and Saturday. Thursdays will be added when school starts. Monday is open mike.

Hours are 11 - 1PM Monday - Friday. Saturdays 12 - 1PM.
