This here picture was taken many years ago right here at our home in Port Loring. Old George was quite a feller for sure along with being self reliant. Don’t think there was ever a job that came along that he couldn’t remedy. Here is a picture of his home made saw. I still got a bit of here at the house. Old Ice House in the back is still standing too. Click To Enlarge

Loring General Store, Loring Ontario; About 1912
Years ago where I was raised there was an old general store that once a week I got to visit. The two main items on my list while there was the candy sticks and listening to the old fellows that gathered there each day tellin’ their stories. Also take notice of that old scale on the counter. I got one identical here at our home and still works great. This picture of Kelcey’s General Store here in Port Loring brought back a lot of memories for me so thought I would share.
