‘I’m calling to report my neighbour Graham. He is hiding marijuana in his firewood.’
‘This will be noted.’
Next day, the FBI visit Graham’s house. They search the shed where the firewood is kept, break every piece of wood, find no marijuana, curse Graham and leave.
The phone then rings at Graham’s house. ‘Hey, Graham! Did the FBI come?’
‘Yeah, they did.’
‘Did they chop your firewood?’
‘Yep, every piece.’
‘Okay, now it’s your turn to call. I need my garden dug.’
Well been busy working on my second book steadily for the past three weeks and it’s coming along just fine. Should be out for April 2 if things go cordin’ to oil. Talk Soon
Well been steadily working away here on my second book. Starting to take shape finally, but still lots to do. Lot of folks don’t realize just how much goes into the making of a book, especially if one does it all themselves. Well I am far from doing it by myself, as I got my wife busy with sketches and my two sons working in the back ground. Lots to be done, but through out these cold winter days, what better time could there be, than sitting in looking out and enjoying life. Isn’t that what life is suppose to be all about? Talk Soon
Well been steadily working here on my second book these days and got to say it’s been going along pretty good. My two sons have been there for me helping when asked, which is a good thing. I know it would never get finished if it wasn’t for them. For most parts I am into editing every day and entering them into the right foremat. My wife is steadily working on the sketches for the inside which consists of around sixty. One for each story. She finished up the front cover today. Sketched it yesterday and painted it today. Looks really good. Can’t show you as of yet keeping it a secret till spring. So being so cold outside these days it feels right to be inside looking out. Talk Soon.
Well got started yesterday on my second book. This one will be related to my other one but mostly on Gardening. I am in editing mode right now. I am hoping for a spring release. Will keep you all up to date of how it’s coming along as them cold winters days slide by. Nothing nicer than sitting in wood heated home looking out at what mother nature has to offer. Great life hope you are all enjoying it. Talk Soon
Well figured winter coming on I will have some time now. So decided on getting together another book. This one will be related to mostly gardening. Will take a few stories that I think will work the best from my coulmuns and put them together in the coming months. So hoping to be done this spring. Talk Soon
Well got tired of covering my firewood with a tarp for the past three years and decided on building this. Should be nice for next years firewood for sure. One thing about covering the firewood with an old tarp it actually makes the wood worse than if you just left it out in the open air on its own. So this was my solution and thought I would share. Enjoy and I will Talk Soon.
Thought I would mention here about how my first published book is doing which is called, One More Story With George Walters. It’s going great. I got to tell you I would have never believed so many folks were lining up to buy this book. I honestly have to say it humbles me. I am sure happy folks are enjoying it. This book is in reality doing what it was intended. It is there to bring the simple ways of life along with family values back to those that has lost them. It is a book for all ages and a real easy book to read. It is based on life experiences mostly my own, brought to life through the eyes of a young boy. Also a few other stories from my Dad and Grandfather. So thanks again for all your support and help in the publishing of my book, as if it wasn’t for my family of readers it would have never been brought to print. Talk Soon. Oh and my second book is in the works. More words on it in the coming days.
