New Books In The Works For George Walters

Great looking day lies ahead. Not much happening in and around town that has come into my view. Few trucks moving up and down the Highway and regular folks going to pick up their mail and things. Myself I have been working on a novel that I have been wanting to do now for years, called Dark Angel. Fiction this time round, as after all these years of writing short stories of ones self, family or close friends, my mind said it wanted to be let loose. So I am giving it its chance, have to say so far it’s meeting my expectations. I also have started working on a children’s book, At this time I won’t be saying the title, but I will say this, it is going to be a book that all us grandparents or mothers and fathers will want to buy for the young one’s. My wife is about to start on all the illustrations, which will make the book come alive. When will it be out for all to buy? I will keep you up to date as things develop. I don’t think they will be out for spring, but one just never knows what fate brings on to oneself.  We are also in the process of doing up E-Books which will be made available in the near future if things work out.  My son’ Karl is working diligently on that end of things.  Well…tea time here, so have a great day, live the moment my friends, time moves along in ones life fast.

Hope you all find the time to get out for a bit too. Have a great day my friends.

575 Apple Pies Made & Sold Right Here In Port Loring

Got to talking, to a good friend of ours here in town and she got to telling us about the ladies that get to making pies here in Port Loring and District every year. This year they made 575 Apple pies and every one was sold at the United Church here in town. Pretty amazing in itself I would say. My wife and I got one ourselves and will be sampling it in the coming days. Never ceases to amaze me, what a small community can do, when all pulls together for the cause. Have a great day my friends.

So there you go.  Today I will be writing stories, as got a few to get down on paper, or should say computer screen.  Boy times has changed. Years ago I would be sitting down to write up my stories on an old ribbon typewriter.  Have to say though a lot of improvements have happened in that department.  I don’t really miss the old typewriter other than the clicking of the keys.  Just something about it that has stayed with me through out the years. New sounds now, with these new key boards, quieter, don’t have to use as much force.  At any rate one does have to move up with the times once in awhile that’s for sure.  Have a great day my friends.

Lot of fine memories where made there, let me tell ya. So folks, enjoy your day, eat healthy and get some exercise and sunshine. Do that an your body will just be a lovin’ ya.

Things as They Should Be Here In Port Loring

So hows things going folks?  Hope your summer is wrapping up to be what you expected and you made your millions for the winter that lies ahead.  I finally got my vegetable garden all tilled up for next spring. Also took in a bit more kale for winter, as it sure likes this cold weather. Spinach is the same, loves the cold and grows to beat the band this time of year. So good for you too. Before I dug out my broccoli for the year, I picked all the small pieces off them and my lovely wife made a soup from them along with some leaks and potatoes. Had it for supper last night and I have to tell you it was hmm good.. Before tilling it up I added some lime this year, as the soil was a touch acidly and to enrich it some I added a good pile of cow manure. Then on top I covered the whole garden with leaves. Looks good now and next year should have tomatoes the size of pumpkins. I also managed to get my equipment all cleaned up and put away for another year and even got time to make a run to the dump. So all and all a good day, not wasting one minute of it.

The leaves are pretty well all gone for the year, with a few lingering oak ones still hanging on. I have to say they sure look pretty this year, even more so than years past.  The tamarack though have just started to show off and for most parts you never hear folks talk about them. Put their colours along side the pines and cedars and let me tell you they are sure a sight to behold.  Thing is, up here in the north is the only place you can see them and I highly recommend that you should.    You know…. it would be just one more item to take of your list of things that should be done in life.   Have a great day my friends.

Well good morning.  Cool morning with some frost laying on top of things.  Just finished lighting the old wood furnace, actually it lit itself, as I just put the papers and kindling in her and away it went.

Got lots planned for this winter, with the making of some more flutes and items for our store.  Then will see if I can find some time to get into writing that novel, that I have wanted to do now for the past four years.  Looking forward to doing that.  When I get to writing, a whole new world opens up to me. New characters show themselves and there for awhile, you could say I have a whole new family.  Have a good day my friends, make the best of it.  

Powassan Ontario Library, Authors Night

Last night I was at the Powassan Library reading from my books, along with answering questions and also got some one on one time after the meeting, which I enjoy.  I have to say we had a great evening. The staff was on top of things as always and made our evening very enjoyable. They should be commended.  The refreshments and things after the meeting was great also. I get a good feeling being there, from the time I walk in the door, till the time I leave. We had a good turn out also in spite of the rain, as every chair was taken. My wife and I would like to thank all those that attended, it was nice meeting you all and look forward to doing it again, real soon. Have a great day my friends.

So all and all not a bad day lies ahead. Yesterday I put my boat to bed, reluctantly for winter, but figured it was time. Nicer to do it now than wait till them cold north winds get to howling. Yes winter is edging its way into our area, but one doesn’t have to let it get you down. There is lots to be enjoyed, like hunting, ice fishing, snowmobile, or for that matter just walking our trails in and around Port Loring. I do a bit of hunting with some very good friends come November, tell a few tales and enjoy some good company. That’s what life is about my friends, one has to remember, all that matters in life, is that we are happy. Accomplish that, and….. well, you have done more than most. Have a great day my friends and soak in some sunshine.

A great day lies ahead my friends. It’s kind of like looking out a window. Do we really see what is out there in front of us?  Or is what we are looking at, only what we want to see. I have often wondered that. Which brings me back to what lies ahead. What lies ahead is what ever we choose it to be. Have a great day my friends.
