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.

ST. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church Has A New Sign

Here is a sign my wife Ruth painted up for the Catholic Church here in Port Loring.   Kind of thought she should get some recognition for her work as it did turn out really nice.   Not that we are a member mind ya, but we do have some good friends that does belong to it.

From Port Loring To You

hello Well got my firewood for next year piled high and dry and my basement is full of dry wood for this winters burning.  Wife has preserves done up for winter, freezers and pantry is full, meat in the freezer so guess you might say we are all set for them cold winter days and nights.  Makes me feel good all over knowing we will be warm and have a full stomach.  One thing I have always done through out my life is make sure the cupboards were never bare and we had a roof over our heads.  So took a few pictures of things around our home and thought I would share.  Talk again soon.

Mike Clapperton For All You Boating Needs Right Here In Port Loring

My good friend Mike here in Port Loring who has a boat storage and repair shop has just put up  his second new boat storage unit. I have to say he sure did a fine job and should be commended for his work, not only with his building expertise  though, as he is one great mechanic.  I should know, as I am for ever asking him questions about my equipment and if something comes along that I can’t fix, well Mike gets the job done.  It always makes me feel good when I see a feller like Mike going ahead in a world like today.  Just goes to show you what one can do with his life when they put their all into doing what they love.   His place of residence is on the North Road about a mile in.  His place of business is the Shell station on Highway, 522  in down town Port Loring, can’t miss it.  Stop in and see Mike for all your boating needs, you will be glad you did.  Click Pictures To Enlarge.

A Horse Is A Horse Of Course.

Awhile back the wife took a couple pictures.  The one on my shoulder was a young feller and really frisky.  I just leaned up against the fence pretending to ignore him and in less than a minute he was over there giving me a hug.  Been that way all my life, horses just seem to come to me, no matter how wild they are.   Thought I would share.   Click Pictures To Enlarge.
