I’m Pondering

Hi everyone. In case you don’t know me, by now, I’m Maverick, and this is my column “Cat Tales.” I like to write about what’s going on with my mom and me, but I also like to teach so I write informative things concerning cats. I think I would make […]

Early Firefighting In The Sault

In the early twentieth century, some of my ancestors were firefighters in the Sault. Going through some old papers, I have found bits and pieces of firefighting history from our area. As with anything over 100 years old, things aren’t always in the best shape. Books, papers, and photos tear […]

Waiting For The Eclipse

Hi everyone. I’m Maverick with this week’s edition of “Cat Tales.” I’m waiting for the eclipse. I keep looking out the window to see if anything is happening yet, but my mom says it won’t happen until Monday, April 8th. I told her that we should have a party and […]

1914 Sault Ste. Marie High School Baseball Team

Here is an oldie, but goodie from the annual of the Senior Class of the Sault Ste. Marie High School. The baseball season has opened too recently to tell much concerning the ability of our team. But so far the team has shown up remarkably well, and we are confident […]

Happy Easter

Hello everyone. Maverick here with the Easter Edition of Cat Tales. I have to say upfront that there was no way I was letting my mom put me in bunny ears for this week’s snapshot. A cat has to draw the line somewhere. I love my mom, but asking me […]

I never knew my paternal grandfather. He died when my dad was three years old, but my step-grandfather was very special to me, and I always called him Grandpa. My grandparents lived on Superior Street, and they had one of the largest gardens in town. My grandfather worked hard in […]

Waiting Out The Storm

“Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by.” – Psalm 57:1 (ESV) I don’t think I will ever forget November 10, 2002, the day […]

I Don’t Like Spring Cleaning

Hi, I’m Maverick, and this is my column/blog, “Cat Tales.” It’s that time of year again for Spring cleaning. It’s exhausting watching my mom clean. I try to stay out of her way, or she may put me to work. I’m kidding. She started some of it last weekend and […]

The Blueberry Patch

“Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world.”- 1 John 4:1 (NLT) I have an early childhood memory of spending time with […]
