Frankly, I'm so embarrassed that it's been since June that I last posted anything here on the blog. Can I plead summer? I've had tons of real estate activity plus children out of school and some really wonderful vacations including two weeks in Montana & Wyoming hiking the wilds of Yellowstone, Glacier and Grand Tetons National Park. Don't ask me which I liked better because I still can't decide and I'm still very much in love with Zion in Utah...hmmm...it was nice to come home to our beautiful Kentucky landscape though!
In the time we've spent in Lexington, we've been enjoying lots of bike riding in an attempt to make a game out of curbing our gas usage. Being inside New Circle Road people, we've been enjoying a number of local restaurants that we can ride to easily -- Puccini's Smiling Teeth off Euclid, and our new favorite where I've been 4 times in the last three weeks: A.P. Roots on Romany Road. If you know Lexington, you know that Romany has some great local spots, Suggins, Wheeler's Drugstore, Graeter's, but you may not know that the owners of Suggins have also opened A.P. Roots -- a terrific, more upscale but still very comfortable (i.e. you can ride your bike there and not feel too underdressed) restaurant that features lots of local produce and unique menu items. Marc and I are hooked on the homemade parpadelle noodle dishes. We want to make sure lots of people eat there as I'll cry if they go out of business.
About Me
- Gwen Williamson Mathews
- Yes, I sell Real Estate and yes, I do really love it! It's rewarding and I’m pretty darn good at it. I’ve always had a thing for houses and been fascinated by architecture but mostly, I like the people. Houses are fun however it’s clients that keep me in this business day after day! Nothing is more satisfying than helping my clients find the home of their dreams and when the time comes to move on, being there to help them sell that same house as quickly and as profitably as possible. Once upon a time I worked in higher education administration. I have an undergraduate degree from Transylvania University in English and Sociology and a master’s degree from The University of South Carolina (USC). After about 15 years of working in development and student life positions at The Savannah College of Art and Design, USC-Columbia and Transylvania University, I saw the light of real estate and discovered that I could be just as helpful to people as a Realtor as I was as a college administrator. Plus, I never have the same day twice! When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family, writing, reading, travelling, running, hiking and cooking.
