Ryder News For Jan. 5, 2017
Okay, we do need to have a forceful talk with Mother
Nature..This snow has to stop! We have been spoiled for the last few years and
we all want to go back to being spoiled again. So if you can find Mother
Nature, capture her and hold her hostage until we can all get together and give
her a good talking to!
There was no Senior Citizens this Monday, Jan. 2nd as there
was a mix-up of some sort and the cook thought it was next week (which it will
be now) Jan. 9th! It was probably a good thing anyway as the weather isn’t the
best with a storm looming over us just waiting for the wind to pick up and blow
all this new light fluffy snow around! And...they are saying another 4 inches
to come later today (Monday).

Evelyth Wohlk’s 98th birthday
|
Evelyth Wohlk celebrated her 98th birthday earlier this week
with her family.
Ron and Muriel Peterson and Scott and Kari Mart and kids
spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in Minot with Steve and Rondi Deaver and
kids. Later Christmas Day, the Marts headed out to Bismarck to catch a flight
to Florida for their winter vacation.

Ruth Wurtz’s 90th birthday
|
Christmas Eve was Ruth Wurtz’s 90th birthday. Her family had
planned a birthday celebration at the Grand Hotel (International Inn) but due
to the weather not all family members could make it but those that did had a
great time. They had lunch together and then hurried home due to the weather
and impending storm.
Charlotte Smette spent Christmas in Milwaukee with her
daughter, Sarah. Her mom was a little worried that she may not make it home
before the storm hit but luckily she was aware of the impending storm and was
able to change her reservation before the storm hit so at least she didn’t have
to spend the night in an airport chair! She made it home safely and on time.
The Christmas supper at Makoti Senior center was a great success
in spite of the bitter cold. They served lutefisk, meatballs and all the usual
Christmas treats. There were many kinds
of cookies to share and people took food to members who could not make it out.
Thanks to all the people who gave their time to make sure everyone had a
memorable Christmas dinner.
The Makoti Senior Center will have a soup and sandwich
supper on Wed, January 11, 2017 at 6:00 PM. All food is furnished, so no pot
luck is needed, but if any of you ladies have homemade pickles or pickled
vegetables, they would welcome them.
So...what did all of my readers do for New Year’s Eve? Did
you go out and party like in the good old days? Kenny and I did...yeah
right...we stayed home and wound up babysitting for Johnny so his mom and dad
could go out! They went to Underwood and dropped him off on their way and
picked him up on the way back. We would have kept him overnight but with the
weather the way it has been, we thought it best that they take him home. He did
manage to stay up and awake til they got here around 1:30 a.m. I think we have
had him almost every New Year’s Eve since he was born either we went to their
home or he came here!
I forgot to put the “Old News” in my column last week so
this week I am making sure it goes in. I have heard from my readers that they
enjoy this old stuff and recognizing the names from the old days! So here is
