All posts by George Walters

George Walters is a Canadian columnist and author with more than forty years of writing experience. For over twenty years he has written a weekly column for Postmedia Network — Canada's largest newspaper chain — never missing a single week, publishing fifty-two stories a year. Combined with his work in Reader's Digest Community Voices, World News, Country Living, The Country Register, and farm and rural lifestyle magazines across Canada, he has published well over two thousand stories drawn from everyday life. He writes about farm work, fishing, old trucks, and the kind of people you only find in small towns — but just as likely he'll hand a voice to a weathered telephone pole, or turn his eye on something happening in the world today and tell you exactly what he thinks about it. No subject is off limits. If there's a story in it, George will find it. He has been called a philosopher of everyday life, a description that came up more than once during his television appearances over the years — and it's not hard to see why. His writing has a way of making the ordinary feel worth sitting with. He is the author of eleven books, including yearly short story collections and the Clay Moretti Files mystery series. Clay is a fifty-year-old private investigator who drives a 1967 Ford Galaxie, smokes cigars, and operates by a code the modern world gave up on a long time ago. The cases are present day. The man handling them is not. All titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon. Together, George and his wife Ruth have also created Elmer Finds His Way, the first in what he hopes will be a long series of children's books. Ruth did all the illustrations, as she has for every one of George's books — and beyond that she designed and painted the covers as well. Her work is woven into every page of everything he has published. A few words from readers: "I pulled up a kitchen chair and read your story three times." "You have a way of making a person homesick for a place they haven't been to." "Thank you for writing things that make old people and kids feel the same way at the same time." All my titles are available in paperback and eBook on Amazon.ca here.

What’s Happening In & Around Port Loring, Ontario, Canada on Nov 19/2022

Homemade Flapjacks. Just the way I like them. Click on image to enlarge!

Good Morning!

It’s a snowy cool morning here in Port Loring with the temperature getting out of bed sitting at -3 C | 26.6 F. The good news is while nighttime temperatures are going to be cold, the daytime temperatures for the next week or so won’t be all that bad. They will be hovering around the freezing mark throughout the daytime hours. Which is pretty nice, considering we are heading into December. So far, we have had about 2 inches of snow here this morning, but it just started around 8:00 AM. It is sure coming down now. With them big flakes, it will accumulate quite fast. Highway 522 is snow covered, and if you asked my opinion, I would say everyone should stay at home today. But for those that think they can handle anything … go to it. LOL

On another note, I did manage to rearrange my woodworking shop yesterday. Now I am able to keep our snow blower inside where it is warm and dry, along with our ATV. And the best part is I can still work in there. Which is nice. Especially this time of the year. I see so many pieces of equipment these days sitting outside in all kinds of weather, rusting away. Kind of sad, really. When I see them I want to go rescue them LOL.

Today, with the weather being as it is, my lovely wife and I will be staying put. After breakfast, I will head on out to the woodworking shop and see about finishing up the new top I have been working on for the new-old washing machine end table. Should be a real nice one of a kind piece, when my wife finishes doing up her part, with painting a nice scene on the top.

With that, you all have a great day and stay safe. There is a lot of sickness out there right now. My son’s fiancé said she has never been so sick, laid up for a good two weeks in bed, and still not feeling all that well. And she is a strong, strapping gal too.

Anyway, I am off for some homemade Flapjacks my wife is making for us. She says I need a bit of sweetening up.
