Ryder News for July 7, 2016
Our grandson Johnny McGrath has decided at 7 years of age
that he wants to be a news writer like his grandma so he wrote up some Ryder
news for this week. Here it is with spelling mistakes and everything:
“Johnny’s News. The Ryder News 4th of July. Hellow we are
all excited in Ryder for the 4th of July. Its also known as independince day.

| Doris Ann Zieman at her 80th birthday party. |
The kids of Jim and Doris Ann Zieman put on an 80th birthday
open house for Doris Ann followed by a family pot luck supper. I won’t attempt
to name all the people there but suffice to say, there was a lot! Kenny and I
attended and we took Johnny McGrath along.
While John and Staci and Johnny McGrath were camping at the
lake this weekend they were visited by a moose. I wasn’t able to get the
picture in time for this week’s news but maybe next week I can sneak it in!
