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.

Deer Feed

Well made it to town and back stopped off at the feed store while there and got two fifty lb bags so that should look after the deer we got coming around our feeder for most the winter. I don’ t feed them to much but just enough to keep them where we can see them.  Almost a full day going to town so when we get back we are ready for a coffee and relax.  Still cold here but the snow has stopped so that makes me smile.  Talk Soon

Guest For Supper

I have decided this year to do a bit more feeding of the deer as, well my wife and I just love to sit and watch then out in our back yard.  Don’t think anything is more beautiful than to sit and watch nature in it’s fullest.  Guess go and pick up a bag or two of cracked corn, as our boys are coming up in a week for Christmas so might get a few more come round so they can have a good look at them.  Something they don’t have down in the big city.  So best go, thought I would share this picture of one that came by earlier today.The picture was taken out side our back door facing north west, enjoy. Talk soon.

Jennie

Well wife and I got to looking for some old catalogues this afternoon, finally found them, but took a bit of looking. Over the years I have kept a few of them as I like to look back and reminisce a bit. A strange thing though happened while looking for them,  a picture of me back in the year 1959 turned up with me sitting on the back of my horse Jennie.  I got to tell you it sure brought back memories for me.  I have been writing of her and me together and some of the times we had and now finding this old picture sure is something.  Guess one might say an early Christmas present.  Talk Soon
