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.

Information For Port Loring Ontario Canada

Good Morning;  Well it is a windy rainy old day here in Port Loring.  Temperatures waking up were sitting at, 6.3 C | 43.34 F.

Forecast For Today: Exceptional Weather, Stormy, much rain.  Rain will continue for the next few days.  Could even see a flurry or two later on in the week before this trend is finished.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and wet but care should be taken if out an about with the wind gusts being as strong as they are.  Other than that travelling should be okay.

Snow Report:  No snow overnight.

Around Town:  I am happy that I got a lot of my outside work done up yesterday as today isn’t an outside day to say the least. But that is okay as I have lots to do inside where it is warm and dry.  While out with Nature yesterday I noticed all kinds of plants and things showing themselves for the first time this year.  Great to see and even nicer to watch as they develop.  We got one tulip plant that has come up now in the same location right where we can view it while we eat breakfast each morning.  It has been coming up now for over ten years.  Just one all by itself.  I think it is our yearly guide to what is going to take place for the year.  We are given this gift I believe to see into the future, just most choose not to use it.  At any rate it is sure nice to watch, take in and enjoy.  So tea time here.  Chaga is on the menu for today, I am in need of some extra strength moving around them drywall sheets that my wife and I will be working with.  Enjoy your day,stay safe and dry.  You can reach George Walters at [email protected]

Happenings In & Around Port Loring Ontario

Good Morning:  Nice looking day out there.  Temperatures waking up were sitting at      3.1 C | 37.58 F. Will rise as the day moves forward.

Forecast For today:  The sun will shine up on us for most the day but there are a few showers around.  Which is good as the rains freshen things up and brings on natures growth.

Highway Report:  Highway 522 is bare and dry throughout. Travelling is good.

Snow Report:  No snow over night or expected in our area.

Around Town:  Things are picking up some.  Few cottagers are back, had a few drop by yesterday saying hello.  Great to see them. On another note thought I would throw this out there.  My wife and I are looking for a place to rent for a couple months of the year every winter in the southern part of Florida.  Below Tampa is preferable.  If you hear of any one or any place I would appreciate you letting us know.  We did have a cottage in Sarasota for many years and sold it a few years ago.  Hind sight I wouldn’t do it again.  But one can’t dwell on the past to much.   Had a friend Email me asking about the ice on the lakes and he said he was going to have an Orange Pekoe tea this morning.  Sounds good to me too. So on with my day as you will yours. Enjoy your day.  You can reach me George Walters if you so wish at [email protected]
