Awhile back my wife and I were out enjoying Nature when we came upon an old Spring Fed Well. Seeing it my wife and I sat down and ate our lunch, with our minds wondering how many people used to come to it for water. We even had a drink, as the water inside was crystal clear. We enjoy seeing things like that, so I thought I would share. GW

Here is a picture of the chap that owned our home here in Port Loring Ontario, Canada, taken many years ago.           George Lee.   It is a picture of an invention he made for cutting firewood.  Pretty amazing man to say the least.  A man that shouldn’t be forgotten.  Click picture below for better viewing.

Morning.  Have lots of old pictures pertaining to Port Loring Ontario Canada.  Thought I would add a few now and then.  Here is one, self explanatory.   Lee is who used to own this house we live in now.  Great man.  George was his first name. Good name.

One more; Here is a invoice dated back in years to; 1933. Quite interesting I thought, shows what they called some clothing items and what they would have cost.  Some I have heard of, [Showing My Age} some I haven’t.  The receipt in itself is interesting too. For myself I can just visualize what would have been going through the owners mind that day on receiving the goods.  ( Hmm, Now where will I hang them?) (Sure hope our sales are up this month as we don’t want these articles sitting around the store taking up space.”)  (That wife of mine is always ordering things.)  Also notice the Quantity and how they explained it back then.  If this doesn’t get you to thinking, well… I guess your not interested in what once was.  For those that are though; Enjoy as you are brought back to a simpler time.  April 21st.——1933.  Click article to enlarge. 

As the days past here in Port Loring I will be adding a bit of the past to our Blog here.  Here is an original article of how much some items cost back in the year 1930.  Also take notice of the of the Phone Number on the top right hand corner. The article is pertaining to North Bay this time round but still interesting to say the least.  Click article to enlarge.
