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.

Old Churn

Made in the old woodworking shop. Wouldn’t make another, though. I am not an angle man. Ha Ha

Chest From the shop to the home

Here is a chest that was made years ago in the old woodworking shop. I made all different kinds over the years.

Episode 89: What Road to Follow

Episode 89: Hi Folks. This podcast is a touch different. Its sights are set on our direction in life. I could say more, but if I did, it would take it away from the story itself. So … if it has caught your interest, give it a listen, I think you will hear something that you can identify with.

On another note, I would like to take a minute here and say thank you once again to all those that have gotten in touch with me, letting me know how much they are enjoying my blog, columns and podcasts. It means a lot to me hearing from you. Stay safe, my friends, and keep them comments coming in. GW

What’s happening? January 14/2022

Good Morning! Starting things off, it is a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The temperature climbing out of bed was sitting at -24.8 C | -12.64 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is today. Tonight it will be even colder, so an extra blanket might be in order. Highway 522 has some icy snow covered areas throughout, but travelling will be good. We could also see some light snow later on this afternoon. To be honest … this time of year here in Port Loring, you can expect pretty well anything. And you should be prepared for just about anything. That’s what living in the north is all about. On another note, my lovely wife and I decided that … since it was going to get colder, that we should go and pick up our groceries in North Bay yesterday. Which we did. We have gone back to ordering things online as we were doing before when this virus slowed down some. So all we had to do was pull up in front of the places we deal with, give them a call, and they bring it out to our car. Can’t beat that. But the best part is we don’t have to subject ourselves to a whole mess of people inside the stores. Which I think is the thing to be doing these days. While there, we dropped by our son’s apartment, and see him in his parking lot, as he is staying safe too. Dropped him off a few things and then chatted to him on the phone along the way home. We also ordered some food, and ate it in our car, taking in the city life. It’s good to see what the other half is doing once in a while. Not that we would want such a lifestyle. Not saying it is a bad way to live, but it’s not for us. I have to admit, we had a great day and enjoyed getting out of the house for a few hours. The scenery that Mother Natures has on display is always nice to see. Today I think I will work away on another podcast, oh damn It’s Friday already, I guess I need to put up the next Episode. I will do that right now. I hope you enjoy it. Take care and stay safe. GW
