Ryder News for Feb. 18, 2016

   Not a lot of news for this week. I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day. Kenny did get me chocolates (I knew he would) and then I fixed him a nice shrimp dinner. We rent to Minot to deliver valentines to the McGrath family and we got more candy. 

   Joyce and Pat McKinzie, were afternoon coffee guests of Wendell and Marlys Hanson in Minot, last Thursday Feb. 4^th.  They a nice visit with them and they both are doing very well. They like it where there at and always keep busy with something.

   Lee, Julie, Shelsey and Stetson Brandvold came to Joyce and Pat McKinzies on Friday night the 29^th of January and stayed overnight as Lee and Julie and Dave and Denae Anderson took in the Big Fishing Derby down in Devils Lake on Saturday the 30^th. Joyce said they enjoyed having the grandkids all day on Saturday. It was such a beautiful day, that they all were outside for about 2 hrs. The grandkids are getting pretty big now so they can help Grandpa and Grandma with things. The fishermen got skunked as none of them caught any fish. There were a lot of prizes given away and they didn't win any of those either. They said it was fun anyway and they may go again next year.

   I decided to meander down to the Ryder Community Center/Gym and have the soup and sandwich that they serve every 2^nd and 4^th Saturdays of the week. This time Kathy Kimball had homemade chicken noodle soup and it was delicious. The soup was enough to fill a person up, nice and thick so I decided I didn’t need the sandwich!

   Well, even if I don’t have any more news for this week, Mamie Olson does, so here is another excerpt from her Blue Hill News column courtesy of Faye Karna and the Ryder Museum…enjoy.
