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.

Christmas Parade Inglis Florida 2015

Had our Christmas Parade on Saturday took a few pictures.  Thought I would share.  Small for sure but every one sure had fun.  Few drinks thrown in for good measure, everyone was happy. That is what it is all about.  Click Pictures to enlarge.  One thing…they admire Elvis here as there was a film made many years ago just up the street from where we are staying.IMG_20151211_161152782  Added a picture which is self explanatory.  Enjoy!

Good Morning From Crystal River Florida

Super nice day shaping up here in Florida.  Just had an orange juice on the front porch now heading off on a new adventure.  Why?? Well, just because we can.  Yesterday wife and I went to watch the sunset on the Gulf so took some pictures.  Just a mile up the road from us.  Also a couple of some fishing boats heading out to check their nets.  Days End. Thought I would share.  Click pictures to enlarge.  Enjoy your day.

Pictures From The Sunny South Dec 9/2015

Wife and I were out browsing and took a few pictures.  Thought I would share.  Temperatures are perfect.  Canadian Dollar is outrageous.  But such is life.  Not letting it bother us.   Too nice a country for that.  And hey it’s almost Christmas.  Hard to get in the mood though with temperatures being up near 80.  HA HA

Harley-Davidson Bonanza Florida Dec. 6/2015

Wife and I took in a motorcycle event yesterday with all kinds of Harley-Davidson’s put out for show.   I used to own one many years ago. Was a great day, free hot dogs and drinks mixed in with some country music.  Thought I would share a few pictures of the bikes which I am sure some will appreciate.  Click Pictures to enlarge.  Enjoy and have a great day!

Good Morning From Crystal River Florida Dec 5/2015

Another nice day here waking up.  Temperatures were sitting at 65 F. Will warm up into the high 70s shortly.  Today w e will take in some country and visit a couple produce stands which occur along the main highways.  Lots to choose from which we like, especially the fresh tree ripened grapefruit.  Can’t beat them for taste.  After that will just let the day happen and see what it brings us.  Yesterday while out I took a couple of pictures of one of most favorite cars.  Used to own one many years ago.   Click Pictures below to enlarge.  Oldie but goodie.
