Still quite quiet around town.  Snow is all but gone, maple syrup time is finished, leaving the white birch ready to tap. I tap a couple just to get the sap for health issues one might come upon. Nothing is better let me tell ya.  The old way was that if you drank two cups a day for as long as the sap ran you would live for another year disease free.  Sure can’t hurt a feller or gal.  On another note the Masters Golf Game is upon us next weekend and sure looking forward to it.  I don’t get into much sports but the Masters I never miss.  This year will head into see my son Karl in North Bay and watch it on his big screen.  Average April temperatures in Augusta range from highs around 80 degrees to lows around 50 degrees.  Last years winner Charl Schwartzel will be on  hand to see if he can do it again along with many others.  Until the Masters starts spring isn’t officially here, through my eyes. So get ready, pick up a few goodies, then sit back and enjoy…….The Masters 2012.

Our two new highway signs will be installed with in the next month or so, one coming in from Highway 69 and one coming in from Highway 11.  Long time coming and will finally let folks know who we are back here.  I came up with the plan, a couple years back thinking  that advertising in papers is not a bad thing, but it is a one time thing, and then ones money is gone. Two signs will advertise for our community for years and my way of looking at it is; it is money well spent. The gift that keeps on giving you might say.  Have a great day.

Quiet.  Actually it is quite peaceful, folks are sittin’ back and taking life easy.  Can’t say I blame them neither, as won’t be long before the busy season.   Lookin’ forward to them warmer temperatures though.  I have noticed this year that we have had a lot more snow mobiles enjoying the trails around our home.  The Shell station in town is busy as all get out, pumping gas and on the weekends if going by, you will see an endless row of machines waiting to be filled with fuel.  Good to see them out and about,  as means folks aren’t staying cooped up in their homes and out doing what they enjoy.  Last year there wasn’t as many, thinking the media had folks minds messed up, thinking things were so bad out there financially wise that they stayed home.  Not a good thing and folks have to rely on their own way of thinking and doing things and not be swayed by others.  My way of lookin at things.  Well tea time here so you all have a great day.

News For Port Loring

Still quiet around town.  Took me most the morning yesterday to clean out the driveway. But my old sears snow blower made it all pretty easy.  Good old machine, bought it used around fifteen years ago and still runs like a top.  It sure throws snow let me tell ya. Nothing like the ones of today.  Today I am thinking I will just take it easy, maybe write up a story or two for my column in the Nugget.  Enjoy a coffee or two and let the day unfold in front of me. Rough life huh?   So have a great day and will say hello here tomorrow morning.
