Club Chaos Agents - All Things Hollish, Wacked, and Jacked

It's been some time since I have been at the Farmers Market in the middle of downtown Lexington KY, but I have to say that it is bigger and better than I can remember.

In fact the new Fifth Third Pavilion is an awesome place to have the weekly Saturday event from 7:00AM - 3:00PM.

Not just vegetables and fruits here. There were artists with jewelry, pottery and paintings.

I particularly enjoyed all the tables that had taste samples of cheeses, dips, BBQ, desserts, olive oil, breads, candy and meats.

Most everything that I tasted, I bought some to take home or ate on the spot.

In fact now I can't wait to go back and get more. I love finding new things! I was like a kid in the candy store!

One of the fun booths set up at the Farmers Market was one that made smoothies but done by peddling stationary bikes. It worked the blender till your smoothie was done. Now that was new to me!

There is a picture below of kids waiting to have a turn at making a drink. Hey that's a good way to get your kids to eat fruits!

The colorful array of veggies made me actually buy some of this okra. I found out how to fry it up by asking my Facebook friends to help me. They all had different recipes.

This little lady made hand painted gourds and we did buy one of the ones that looks like an apple.

There are horses are loose all over our streets! Beautiful works of art!

I had a chance this past weekend to get out and take a few pictures of the Horse Mania 2010 horse art in downtown Lexington KY. Each one is amazing and there are so many fine details that are missed just by taking one full length pic. As I get a chance, I will be posting more. There are still quite a few more I want pictures of.

*The "Neigh"borhood of Horses? Horse Mania 2010 - Lexington KY*

It was a busy day last Friday. My closing was planned for 12:00PM and I was so happy for my friend that was selling her house in Richmond KY.

It was the second closing of a three house deal. Now that took some juggling for the deals and the three families involved. So far no unscheduled delays at all. 

Almost at the same time, the elephants were scheduled to arrive in Lexington KY with the Ringling Bros. Barnum Bailey Circus train. Once unloaded, they were going to be paraded around Triangle Park and fans would have a chance to get close to them.

I was daydreaming about elephants as the final papers were being signed, keys and garage door remote exchanged with the new buyers. I was so thrilled for my friend. Nice to get her house sold and now we could proceed with the closing on her new townhome. This would have to wait over the weekend. This last closing is not until Monday. Maybe next year, I will finally get pictures of the elephants... I thought.

The next day, my friend was hanging out with me with me  downtown Lexington for the Farmer's Market.

We were driving by Rupp Arena and I commented that we had missed the circus elephants because we were at her closing the day before.

As I said the words, I looked past the building and I swear there were those elephants!

WOW!!! We quickly circled around and there they were calmly walking along holding on to each others tail in the parking lot.

Even though we were a day late, we didn't miss a thing. It was absolutely perfect timing! How wild is that??

Life is like that sometimes. You get what you need when the time is right.

Don't worry that you are missing out on anything. One day you get closings, the next...elephants.

Enjoy Living In Lexington KY...Bring Your Horse too!

The other day, when I was walking from Woodland Art Fair near downtown Lexington KY, I ran into a fellow that was letting his miniature horse eat grass near the street in Ashland Park. Her name was Darleigh and she was so sweet.

Darleigh lives at this couple's house (in the back yard or in the house)and pretty much does what she wants.

She was really enjoying the lush clover

They had a silver trailer in the driveway to take her to hospitals so children can enjoy her too. Like a therapy horse.

I can only imaging the smiles she brings to those children that are having to stay at the hospital.

Lexington KY is the horse capitol of the world and It's a great place to live and enjoy all kinds of horses.

Vintage Beetlejuice Doll Unearthed In Ashland Park - Chevy Chase Yard Sale in Lexington KY 40502

So while I was out roaming around in downtown Lexington KY this past weekend, I ran across a yard sale in the Ashland Park and Chevy Chase area. 

This yard sale was one put on by Lucy of A La Lucie fame. Plenty of wild and crazy stuff to uncover and buy. I sadly happened to be there without cash or checks so all I could do was take pictures. What good is a Visa card at a time like this?? 

This happy fellow made off with a vintage Beetlejuice doll. He seemed to be very excited to have found it. Very odd!

*Vintage Beetlejuice Doll Unearthed In Ashland Park -Chevy Chase Yard Sale in Lexington KY*

 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!

As events are on schedule for the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games there are also smaller events taking place that are attracting superstars for a visit.

Bruce Springsteenand his wife Patti were spotted by two of my favorite clients Cindy and Cazz Kamps. Once they got over the shock of seeing them so close, they actually did get an autograph. Bruce and Patti were there to watch their daughter perform.

The Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington Ky is really beefing up it's presence for the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games.

 New widened roads, barns, and the new indoor arena are all part of the plan.

Last year I volunteered the Vaulting Event that was a pre-view of was was to come for Lexington KY. We were there to practice for the big event in September.

Contrruction is being completed at the Kentucky Horse Park you can see that barns have even been built next to the arena. Also a new lane is being installed on the I-75 exit there on Ironworks Road.

This is the place to go if you love horses and want to see what different breeds there are. The 24 different breeds are on display in the Breeds Barn.

A Hall Of Champions includes famous race horses like Cigar and Funny Cide. They are shown daily in presentations.

Be sure to check out the International Museum of the Hose and National saddlebred Museum at the Kentucky Horse Park. Exhibits are on display.

 This is a picture of the new indoor arena.

It is part of the new construction that will be used for the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games.

 These young riders were a part of the vaulting event waiting for the presentations to the winners.

Many people are relocating to Kentucky to be closer to horses. Lexington KY is "The Horse Capital of the World."

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...*

Looking at homes for sale in Lexington KY? Love a farm for sale in Paris KY?

Once you have your mind set on moving. Things can quickly fall into place. Unless... you have a house to sell.

Sure, it's a lot of fun to look at homes and farms on the Internet and dream. Open houses can give you some ideas too.

Should you sell your home first before putting an offer on another home?

This is really a tough subject for most home sellers.

They sometimes think their wonderful home will sell right away and they will be left with no place to live.

It's exciting to find the perfect house. That part might be easy.

The tough part comes when you have a house to sell first.

I've seen this scenario happen over and over because home buyers jump the gun and put an offer on their dream home without a closing on their present home.

Then it all falls apart and dreams are shattered.

Sure, I'm patient with folks...BUT, I know how hard I have to work to sell a home in the market we are in.

It takes longer than you think. Often...it just sits there and there are no buyers.

Deals can even fall through because buyers can't get financing even after they have been "pre-approved".

If I make kind suggestions to get your ducks in a row first...before you look at homes... I'm not doing it to be pushy. I say this because I care.

I am a troubleshooter that has been there in the trenches with buyers and sellers.

I would never push a client to buy something if they weren't prepared for the worst. That's my job to see through the possible minefield and guide my clients where to step so they can safely get to a successful closing.
