News Feb. 12, 2015
Receiving a letter in the mail from the Ward
County Sheriff’s Department tends to make one a little paranoid! Kenny was the
recipient of one on Tuesday and I immediately wondered if he had finally been
caught on camera running thru a yellow light in Minot! Whew, what a relief when
we read the letter and saw that it was a letter from the Sheriff asking for a
donation for educational materials for a child safety and drug prevention
education program.
I received word that David Muhlbradt, an old
friend of my family had passed away on Jan. 29th. He was originally from the Raub area as I
also am and he lived about 3 miles from us. His mother Doris worked at the Raub
Post Office when my mother who was the Postmaster needed a day off. His parents
were Herman and Doris Muhlbradt. David is survived by his wife, Pat; sons,
Hunter and Scott; two grandchildren and one great grandchild; brothers,
Richard, Herman (Jr.) and Danny. Those wishing to send a card or special
message to the family may send them to Pat Muhlbradt, 607 Borchardt Ave,
Underwood, ND 58576.
The Ryder Community Club has donated use of
the Ryder gym for the Prairie Ryder 4-H group to hold their meetings. They met
at the Ryder gym on Monday, February 2, 2015. President Daniel Starks lead
their monthly business meeting. They then had a Valentine's party where they
made Valentine's treat boxes as their 4-H project, exchanged Valentine's treats
and enjoyed hot cocoa and snacks provided by the 4-H moms . Sue Williams is the
Prairie Ryders 4-Club Leader.

Ron and Muriel Peterson have been in Mesa, AZ
since Jan. 4th. They had to come home early as her mother Ester
Streeper got sick, was in the hospital, and now has moved to Missouri Slope
Lutheran Care Center at 2425 Hill View Avenue in Bismarck. Ron and Muriel and
Marlene Streeper have been cleaning out her apartment. They figure it may take
them a while to get it all done.
Muriel says her mother received a phone call
saying a friend or relative had died and left her a large amount of money. She
was to send them a certain amount of money (not sure if it was $50 or $550) to
obtain this large sum of money. She simply told them to deduct the amount they
wanted from the total and send her the balance. Muriel says she thought that
was pretty quick thinking for a 94 year old lady!
Sonja Kline and her daughter Lorna recently
spent a week in Hawaii. They left on Jan. 28th and returned on Feb.
5th. She said it was so very enjoyable. They went to Maui and rented
a condo with a view and what a spectacular view it was! It was meant to be a leisurely trip. They
went to different beaches, enjoyed WONDERFUL food, and spent a rainy afternoon
at the aquarium. And…of course, went to
a Luau, which was so much fun. It consisted of a pig roast and wonderful food
to accompany it, a great show and great music. They sat beside a couple from
Minnesota which was enjoyable since he was a Norwegian! They spent a little
time in the hot tub at the resort where they stayed, did some shopping (she
bought a mu mu) and just "hung out" in the condo and at the beaches.
Sonja also tried and enjoyed several different exotic drinks. She said she
didn't really care for the Mai Tai so experimented with different ones (she
said that was fun!) I guess you could
just say that they enjoyed the "Maui thing". She said it was a wonderful
trip including the flights.

Many of my older readers may remember Teresa
Weinand (married to Tom) who was from the Raub, Roseglen and Parshall areas.
She is currently in the Sunset Nursing Home in Mandan and wouldn’t mind if you
stopped to visit. She has a sign on her door that says, “If I’m sleeping, wake
me up as I’d rather visit than sleep.”
Well, that’s all I have for this week. Be
sure to get your news to me so we can share it with the world. You may not
think it is interesting but I bet others would like to know what you have been
up to!
Have a great week, stay safe on the roads
and stay warm! See ya next week, same time, same place!
