Colmun In North Bay Nugget, Update

Well things are going well here with my column these days. Stories are being printed and getting lots of feed back from folks saying how much they are enjoying them. I got to say that makes me happy when folks call as lets me know how they feel, also keeps me wanting to write more.

This weeks column is titled: Warm Tales From Around The Old Coffee Pot and the story is just that.  So if your around a store that sells the North Bay Nugget pick up a copy, I did as always and I even write them.  Talk Soon.

Nugget Column Update

Well my column had been getting a lot of activity these days so that always makes me feel good.  Nice to know folks are enjoying them and letting me know their feelings.   This week in the Nugget the column relates to what is and has been happening around the old place along with touching on a few other things.  So don’t forget to pick up a copy of the Nugget next time your near or store, remember though my column only comes out in the Saturday paper in and around page six.  Talk Soon.

Working Away Here in The shop

Well been busy here the past few days making sawdust in the old shop.  Nice on days like this when the weather is snowing blowing and cold outside to be in there working away where it’s nice and warm. Gives a fellow a good feeling inside.  Burned a lot of wood this season so far guess it’s because of an early start in the burning season as last year it was colder but didn’t burn as much.  Oh well got lots so not worried.  Hope you all are keeping busy.  Talk Soon.

Woodworking Shop

Well been working in the shop the past few days on some projects for our small store come spring.  Keeps me busy and I enjoy it.  Gets me out of the house and keeps the old mind moving in the right direction.  For folks that sit around the house all day, find your self something that interests you and get out there and do it.  Keeps us older and younger folks healthy.  Nothing worse than to just sit around and do nothing.   I figure each day I wake up an look outside I am given another day so I make the most of it trying not to waste one minute, life is just to short for that.  Talk Soon.

Snow Pretty Well All Gone

Well we had our January thaw. Some would say now that the Global Warming has hit but I say it’s nothing of the sort.  January thaws have been with us from the beginning of time. Some years are more pronounced than some but for most parts they are about the same.  One thing about this thaw was, I got rid of the ice build up on my roof.  I sure had a lot this year and it was my own fault.  I didn’t shut up the upstairs and the warmth got up there and well that is what causes the ice jams.  So now that it is melted I closed up the old trap door and it should be good for the next couple months till spring hits.  Today was sunny a first for a few days so that was nice to see for a change. Cooler but nice.  Talk Soon.

Enjoying Them Summer Vegtables

Well with winter about half way through we sure have been enjoying our preserves we did up last summer. Nothing can be nicer that enjoying fresh fruit and veggies in the middle of winter.  Also nice knowing that we are eating health food too as growing them you know what’s in them or on them.  We put away lots of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, and just to many veggies to name. The wife freezes most of them but she does up a lot of tomatoes in jars.  One has to put a bit of work into a garden but the benefits out way the work.  Well thought I would say hello and hope you are all doing well in 2008, man where does the time go. Talk Soon

Pretty Good Day

Well not a bad day here today but calling for a storm later on tonight. Up to around four or five inches of the white stuff is what they are calling for.  Talk Soon.
