On behalf of my wife and myself I would  thank all those that attended my Book Signing at Gulliver’s in North Bay last Saturday.  Also thanks to those that couldn’t make it and called in their orders.  More people showed up than ever before.  Folks lined up at 12:30 PM and my wife and I never stopped signing books till after three.  Great day for sure and it opened my eyes to just how many folks are enjoying my stories.  Thanks folks… it’s folks like yourself that keeps me writing.

We will be having a book signing for George Walters Brand New Book; Called: Times Changin’  at Gulliver’s Quality Books and Toys, 157 Main W  North Bay, ON P1B 2T6  1 705-474-7335 on July 13/2013 from 1 PM to 3 PM.  Free book marks will be handed out with each book.  His four other books will also be on hand for those that would like a copy.  Also you won’t want to miss this book as at the end of each story is an added feature of visions that came his way through out his life. Great wisdom and advice for every age to think on.  Drop By and pick up your autographed copy and say hello. George loves to hear from all his readers.

In Closing, I Would Like To Wish You Well!

Here is a Poem sent to me and I have to say it is one of the best I have seen.  Enjoy it as I have, as it is relating to the old Clothes Line of years past.

And now The POEM …

 

A clothesline was a news forecast, To neighbors passing by,

There were no secrets you could keep, When clothes were hung to dry.

It also was a friendly link, For neighbors always knew

If company had stopped on by, To spend a night or two.

For then you'd see the "fancy sheets", And towels upon the line;

You'd see the "company table cloths", With intricate designs.

The line announced a baby's birth, From folks who lived inside,

As brand new infant clothes were hung, So carefully with pride!

The ages of the children could, So readily be known

By watching how the sizes changed, You'd know how much they'd grown!

It also told when illness struck, As extra sheets were hung;

Then nightclothes, and a bathrobe too, Haphazardly were strung.

It also said, "On vacation now", When lines hung limp and bare.

It told, "We're back!" when full lines sagged, With not an inch to spare!

New folks in town were scorned upon, If wash was dingy and gray,

As neighbors carefully raised their brows, And looked the other way.

But clotheslines now are of the past, For dryers make work much less.

Now what goes on inside a home, Is any-body's guess!

I really miss that way of life, It was a friendly sign

When neighbors knew each other best... By what hung out on that line.

A Friend sent me this morning and thought I would share. Nothing like a smile on ones face to start the day.  But in reality, thinking about this bit of humor, over the years, I have found a lot of truth in what was happening to the poor feller. Read on.

Kevin had shingles.

Several days ago as I left a meeting at a hotel; I desperately gave myself a personal TSA pat down.

I was looking for my keys.  They were not in my pockets.  A quick search in the meeting room revealed nothing.

Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the car.  Frantically, I headed for the parking lot.

My wife has scolded me many times for leaving the keys in the ignition.

My theory is the ignition is the best place not to lose them.

Her theory is that the car will be stolen.  As I burst through the door, I came to a terrifying conclusion.

Her theory was right.  The parking lot was empty.

I immediately called the police.  I gave them my location, confessed that I had left my keys in the car, and that it had been stolen.

Then I made the most difficult call of all, “Honey,” I stammered; I always call her “honey” in times like these.

“I left my keys in the car, and it has been stolen.”

There was a period of silence.  I thought the call had been dropped, but then I heard her voice.

“Idiot”, she barked, “I dropped you off!”

Now it was my turn to be silent.  Embarrassed, I said, “Well, come and get me.”

She retorted, “I will, as soon as I convince this policeman I have not stolen your car.”

My lovely sister Barb sent me this bit of humor so thought I would share.  I really got a kick out of it.

Frank feared his wife Gloria wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem. The doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give him a better idea about her hearing loss.
“Here’s what you do,” said the doctor. “Stand about 40 feet away from her and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on until you get a response.”
That evening, Gloria was in the kitchen cooking dinner and Frank was in the den. He said to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.” Then in a normal tone he asked, “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
No response.
So Frank moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Gloria, what’s for dinner?”
Still no response.
Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, “’Honey, what’s for dinner?
Again he gets no response.
So, he walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”
Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her and says, “Gloria, what’s for dinner?”
“For heaven’s sake, Frank! For the FIFTH time, CHICKEN!”

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.
