Around Town:  Well Christmas has passed us by for another year.  Folks today are settling back into their daily routines.  Those that are looking for some deals will be out there in swarms today at their stores of choice, being Boxing Day.  Suspect there will be a few good deals.  In reality though there isn’t too many.  Gathered data says that for  most parts it is an illusion of what really is happening when it comes to Boxing Day Sales.  But it is fun getting out visiting the big stores now and then.  Also a good way to wear off some of the holiday weight that one puts on, with all the goodies that are at hand at any given time.  So my friends,  hope you all had a very good Christmas.  Enjoy your day and stay safe.  you can reach me George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Well with Christmas almost upon us all is quiet around Port Loring.  Some I suspect are still out gathering up gifts of choice.  Seems there is always that last minute shopper.  I told my two boys this morning that the theory behind this gift giving is that one should take home more than what was given.  They gave me the look.  Well I thought it was a good idea ha ha.  Well guess I will go have my tea and the sit back and let the day take its course.  Merry Christmas my friends.   You can reach me George Walters at [email protected]

Around Town:  Well Christmas is closing in on us quite rapidity.  Young ones are getting more excited with the hopes of Santa paying them a visit.  My Grandson gets to chattin’ about the presents about every five minutes.  Great to see them so excited as it takes me back to when I was young.  Didn’t have the gifts that they do today but we still had a great time. For most parts back when it was the goodies that the lady of the house made up,  like puddings of usually four kinds.  Pies, along with cookies of all shapes and sizes.  In the evening the turkey would be set on the table with all the extras and we were in for one great tasting meal.  Presents if any would be all home made for most parts, but every once in awhile a store bought item came into being.  When that happened I was in awe for the whole day.  After supper the guitar would be brought out and Reg the man of the house would pull up his rocker by the fireplace and songs would be song well into the night.  Great times for sure and still missed into today.  So my friends enjoy your day.  Tea time  here with my favourite cup and then will see what the day bestows upon me.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

Don’t need anyone getting sick out there before Christmas.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]

For some it is the most relaxing time of year.  For us my wife and I,  we are somewhat in the middle.  In saying that though we are enjoying every hour of every day.  Feeling good, mind is right on track, can’t get much better than that.

On another note my son Karl bought a new 2014 Ford Edge last week from Mark Lyon’s at Stock Fish Ford.  Picks it up today.  Have to say it is sure one nice Christmas present to himself.  He deserves it as he is a really hard working fellow.  Reason I mentioned it, is that his old car is up for sale a 2002 Cavalier, only got around 80 some thousand Kilometres on it. It does need a muffler and the brakes should be looked at.  Body is good and got one year old snow tires on it all way round.  Runs good and he has kept the oil changed in it since he owned it.  If anyone is interested in it you can get in touch with me at [email protected]     

Once he has figured out a price I will add it here on the Blog.  For now though, why not make an offer if your interested in it.  Never know.    Enjoy your day my friends.  George Walters

Information:  Highway 522 is Bare and wet through out.  Very Quiet around town these days.  Cities of course are quite busy with the Christmas Shopping, which is understandable.  Man does time fly.   Hard to believe how fast the days are passing us by.  Thinking about that March is only two months away, amazing.  Great to be waking up each and every morning feeling good.  With that in mind, enjoy your day and  just let it happen. I have found for myself I should not be trying to make it into something it isn’t or shouldn’t be. Or for that matter letting anyone else make it for me.   Seems we all have a road to follow, but problems arise when we start to interfere with things. When that happens if we stop and step back, things start to improve.  Let it happen my friends,  Stay safe.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at   [email protected]
