Well not much going on here today. Had a bit of rain last night and early this morning, a few accidents I hear up near HWY 11 next to HWY 522.  Guess that rain must have froze a wee bit.  Nothing worse than freezing rain for driving I have found.  Did some shop work today and that was pretty much my day. Maybe tomorrow I will come upon some things to write about.  Talk Soon.

Pumkin Pie Fresh Out Of The Garden

Well I had a pumpkin this year that grew in spite of all the damage that I did to it. I wrote a story of this pumpkin and it will be in the North Bay Nugget come next week, I think. This pumpkin though deserved to become pies so this Fall after Halloween I put it in the cold room. Today the wife took it out and it is about to become a Pumpkin Pie. Sounds good to me. Also the seeds are lucky ones,  so kept all them for next years plantings. The neighbor,  Bee next door,  gave us a recipe for home grown pumpkin pie and a thank you goes out to her,  so will let you know what it tastes like when all said and done maybe a picture of the finished product.  Talk soon.

Notes Of Appreciation, Wayne

Enough broken promises George, today is the day to finally tell you how much I enjoy your writing.  Every time I read your column, I always promise myself faithfully,  “One one of these days, I am going to send him a short note to say thanks”. That day is today.

Your words are always interesting, well-written, well-placed and very thoughtful. Observers of humankind are usually good writers – judging from most of the stories you tell, I don’t think much goes by you. Keep em coming.

Coincidentally, I also wrote a column for our local weekly paper  for many years and enjoyed it very much . . . reading your stuff nearly gives me the bug to start writing a column all over again realizing the heavy duty commitment to meet 52 deadlines a year. Have spent the last four decades as reporter-photographer, author, historian, researcher, communications specialist, yada, yada, yada. I am now a full-time historian with a very heavy work load.

Think I’m going to lay down now till the feeling about writing a column goes away.

Keep it up.
