Cold Day In Port Loring And New Book is Coming Along.

Friday, November 21st, 2008

Well still cold here hovered around 14 degrees here all week.  Working away here on the upcoming new book.  Lots to do but enjoying it.  Take each day at a time as if I was looking at the whole picture it would just overwhelm me to much.  My wife too has been busy working on all the sketches for the book which in itself is a huge project but as me she takes it as it and enjoys it as it comes.  Great team we are huh?

Just Working Away On My New Book

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

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

Second Book Is Coming Along

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008

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.

Cold Day Here In Port Loring, But Nice

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Well cool morning here again. Down to 20 degrees old scale.  Was up through the night stoking the old wood furnace and enjoying every minute of it.  One thing about having the furnace we have, is that the wood is all inside your home nice and dry and easy to get at. So just need to pull on my slippers, no need to dress with coat and boots and strug off to the outside furnace through the snow and cold night air. Could never understand why anyone would even buy one of those things. Well I guess I know, their insurance brokers push it and that’s the reason for most thinking on the subject.  I figure it this way. If we did every thing the insurance brokers told us to do why would one even need insurance.  Well, as I have always said,  it all boils down to money and they sure are making it, hand over fist.  But all things come to an end, even for them, as we are seeing now.  So guess I will go and have a tea, and get back to doing what I love. Enjoy your day. Talk Soon.

Second Snow Fall Over Night

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Well had our second snow fall for this Fall. Darn cold out there this morning as down to 20 degrees.  Had about four inches of the white stuff.  Sure looks pretty out there though with the snow making the branches on our huge pines just hang.  Good to be alive and kickin.  Talk Soon

Cold Morning Here In Port Loring

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Well cool morning here to wake up too.  Down to 20 Degrees with a sniff of snow on the ground. I still go by the old scale, don’t like metric one bit.  All metric did is complicate things that have been prefectly good for hundreds of years, not to forget how many billions of dollars it cost us.  This is one old feller that didn’t change his ways.  Not many of us left out there either.  Got the old wood furnace going here this morning. Had to get up once last night and throw a couple more logs in the furnace.  But I enjoy doing it.  Just going to have a tea here then get back to working on my second book.  Hope you all are well.  Talk Soon

Second New Book In The Works

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

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

Cool Wet Day

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Well cool day here but just a few minutes ago seen a glimmer of sunshine. So might be a nice Sunday Afternoon.  Been so busy the past few days burning brush and things on our piece of property that I haven’t had time to rest, so figured it’s a good day to take a break.  Since I moved here to Port Loring I got to say I never seen a more pretty piece of country in all my days.  Just sitting here looking out my windows is a picture in itself.   Old wood furnace is perking away, and, well, I am just enjoying life with my lovely wife.  Talk Soon.
