Mystery buffs and history lovers take note! Author, storyteller and local historian Janet Kellough released her latest book entitled On the head of a Pin on Saturday, November 28th at Books & Co. in Picton. 
Following the reading of a couple of passages to whet our appetites, Janet answered questions and we learned that the spark for the book came from the journal of a real life County saddlebag preacher named Thaddeus Lewis.
I’m over half finished reading the tale and thoroughly enjoying it. I plan on posting a review when I’m done, so I won’t elaborate now, but let me say that if you like a good story that’s well written, and if you are interested in County lore, pick up this book. I’m thinking Christmas gifts…
Speaking of Christmas, we had our annual Christmas tree cutting ritual on Monday. We always cut our tree from the forest on our land and our son Kevin has been the official tree cutter for many years now.
Also on the topic of Christmas (and our kids), if you drive by Tim Horton’s in Picton, have a look at the window on the right side. The part that says “Happy Holidays” with a cup in the background was painted by our daughter Sarah.
I’m looking forward to the next few weeks when we’ll enjoy all of our wonderful Christmas rituals. Many involve events around the County, so please visit the blog again soon and feel free to post a comment. I’d love to hear what you think of the blog and welcome questions and suggestion.
Till next time, stay warm, Christine
