Here is a picture that shows the first computer that was ever built.  Hard to believe huh?  Pretty hard to put it into a lap top.   Amazing how fast things have changed.  Click Picture to enlarge.

Last day for hunting up here in Port Loring using rifles that is. Bow season still continues on for a few weeks if your into that.  My self I am a rifle man and usually after two weeks I have had my fill.  This year though I didn’t get out as much as I would have liked as wife, my youngest son all went to visit out oldest son in St Catharine’s for a few days.  Next year will have to make sure nothing is booked for them two weeks.

On another note our book signing at Gulliver’s yesterday ended being a great day.  We had folks waiting for us when we came in and a steady stream after that. Got to meet a lot of my readers and would like to say thanks to all those that attended.  Means a lot to my wife and I.  Lot of books were signed let me tell ya.  So again.  Thanks to all those that took the time to make it a great day.  Also thanks goes out to Gulliver’s for making it a great day.  Great folks and if your in the need for some great gifts along with books this coming Christmas, this is the store for you.  The store is loaded with quality gifts and it is a place that you should really take the time to stop in and browse.  You will be surprised I guarantee you that.

Well here is a picture of what is to come. My lovely sister Barb, who lives in  Saskatchewan sent it to us this morning to what she woke up to.  Notice the young kitten on the window ledge. Barb took the little kitten in on its last legs, nursed it back to health. It’s name is Lego.  Cute little feller that’s for sure.  The other ones name is Lucky Boots.  Seems they both are trying to figure out what that white stuff is.  Have a great day.

Great looking day lies ahead. Not much happening in and around town that has come into my view. Few trucks moving up and down the Highway and regular folks going to pick up their mail and things. Myself I have been working on a novel that I have been wanting to do now for years, called Dark Angel. Fiction this time round, as after all these years of writing short stories of ones self, family or close friends, my mind said it wanted to be let loose. So I am giving it its chance, have to say so far it’s meeting my expectations. I also have started working on a children’s book, At this time I won’t be saying the title, but I will say this, it is going to be a book that all us grandparents or mothers and fathers will want to buy for the young one’s. My wife is about to start on all the illustrations, which will make the book come alive. When will it be out for all to buy? I will keep you up to date as things develop. I don’t think they will be out for spring, but one just never knows what fate brings on to oneself.  We are also in the process of doing up E-Books which will be made available in the near future if things work out.  My son’ Karl is working diligently on that end of things.  Well…tea time here, so have a great day, live the moment my friends, time moves along in ones life fast.

Here is a link that will take you to a short video that our Son Craig, took of Cole our Grandson. Hard to believe how fast they grow and get around in only one year.  Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3GmWDtTK9o

My lovely Sister Barb sent me this quote.  It is one that explains exactly what is happening to folks here in the world as we see it today.  My feelings exactly.

I just think that in our material consciousness, that our lives of  existence have been made so easy by technology, that our human struggle to do the right thing is shutting down.

Now here is something a bit different, here is the only true picture of Billy The Kid, thought I would share it with ya.  Click Picture to Enlarge.

Well I just had to mention here that our day at the Maple Syrup Festival in Powassan on April 16th was fantastic.  I also want to thank those that called and invited me to come.  It as a very busy day, a steady stream of folks dropping by to buy books , shake hands and say hello.  A lot of hugs were given out also. I was amazed at how many folks came by to see my wife and I, it sure gives me a good feeling knowing so many folks are enjoying my stories and of all ages too.  Steve Hardy and his lovely wife from the North Bay Nugget, a very good friend also dropped by, they took a few pictures and we had a good chat as we always do.   So all in all what can I say, other than, thanks folks.  It’s folks like you that keep me writing and wanting to write.  Look forward to seeing you all at my book signing at Gulliver’s Books & Toys in North Bay Ontario on June 18th Fathers Day weekend. Going to be a great new book!!!

Well Easter is not to far off.  My sister Barb sent me this picture of a  huge rabbit, so thought I would send it along for you to have a look see.

A bit of humour for a Tuesday Afternoon.

A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class.
She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to gather the building materials for his home.
She read. “And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said:”  “‘Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?”
The teacher paused then asked the class: “‘And what do you think the man said?”
One little boy raised his hand and said very matter-of-factly…”I think the man would have said” – “‘I’ll be a son of a bitch!! A talking pig!”
The teacher had to leave the room.

The wife says, As I get older my husband doesn’t bother to look at me to much any more!

“I’m so sorry for you. As I get older, my husband says I get more beautiful every day.”

“Yes, but your husband’s an antique dealer.”

A great writer like myself Ha ha, said this one time many years ago and if you really want to get in tune of what should be done in your life, then read on. Great name too, but hey that is just me.

George Orwell said in his prophetic novel 1984: “He who controls the present controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.” Control the writing of history and you change the perception of where we come from. That, in turn, becomes the coordinate for where we are, and,when projected forward, it is the perceived starting point for where we need to go.  To much for ya, read it again slowly this time taking it all in.  True words have never been spoken.

Bit of humour sent to me a bit ago.

An old feller recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing ‘fairly well’ for my age. (I just turned 65.)

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn’t resist asking him, ‘Do you think I’ll live to be 80?’

He asked, ‘Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?’
‘Oh no,’ I replied.. ‘I’m not doing drugs, either!’
Then he asked, ‘Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
‘I said, ‘Not much… my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!’
‘Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?’
‘No, I don’t,’ I said.
He asked, ‘Do you gamble or drive fast cars.
‘No,’ I said.
He looked at me and said,… ‘Then, why do you even give a dam?
