Another letter from the Fan Corner:
“Hi Sue,I just had to write to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed your last two weeks of “groundhog” updates. I literally laughed out loud when I read them. When we lived in Pennsylvania, I lived in hope that Phil wouldn’t see his shadow. I was closer than you and couldn’t get him so unlikely you stood a chance.Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I hope the radiation will be successful.Still Chuckling, Marian Lehnherr – My parents, Darwin and Claryce Johnson, used to own the Red Owl Store in Garrison.”
Thanks for writing Marian...I enjoy receiving letters from
my readers, especially if they like what I have written!
As far as chasing groundhogs...I guess that will be put on
the backburner for this year as income tax season is here so that’s my next
project.
“Jr” Stanley G. Maeshiro II, 46, from Makoti, ND passed away

| Karen Dockter and her awesome quilt. |
The quilting ladies (Lynn Heald, Karen Dockter, Diane
Slickers, Sharleen Larson and of course Judi) got together again, gathering at
Judi Green’s home. Susan Melgaard came to visit and did a little hand
stitching.
Karen Dockter has been working on a quilt for 17 years. It
is an awesome 4,356 one and a half inch squares, and some squares were half
square triangles meaning two pieces of fabric made the inch and a half square.
Size was 100 x 100 inches. Karen said it took two years to cut the fabric. Note
the pattern, Light to dark, Dark to light.
Sharleen said, “We so enjoy these Retreats. Just sew. Of
course we all take breaks to check our email and Facebook!
This is about the sixth time we have gone to Judi's. I had
hosted before but Judi has more space. We gathered last November, now in
February and will again in April then probably not until late Fall. We all take
turns bringing one meal. Good friends.
Great memories!”
Kathy and Dave Kimball spent Friday evening in Minot
watching their grandson, Tristan Kimball, play basketball along with their kids
Amanda and Joe McCallum, Caleb, Aspen, Autumn, Colton, Crystal Cree, Ean,
Avery, Matayah, Eric and Laurie. G'ma and G'pa took Matayah and Autumn home for
the weekend. They helped G'ma with the pantry (which by the way needs donations
immediately) and soup and sandwich social. They also sledded and G'pa drove
them around in the country in their trak truck. The girls also attended church
at St. John's Lutheran church in Ryder with their grandparents.
The Food Pantry was a huge success this Saturday, which
means they are low on food and stuff. They have food donation totes at the
Ryder Gym, the Ryder Post Office, the Ryder Town and Country Credit Union, the
Grocery store in Plaza or if you would rather donate money, you can send it to
the Town and Country Credit Union or to the Ryder Food Pantry, P. O. Box 61,
Ryder, ND 58779 or you can call Kathy at 701-578-5876. If you know someone in need please write,
text, or call her. We sincerely
appreciate all of you who donate and know how important it is to keep our Food
Pantry going!
