Ryder News for Nov. 16, 2017
Today (Sunday) was a totally pea soup fog kind of day all day long. We couldn’t see across the road or even to the end of our driveway yet, cars were shooting down the road as if they could see with perfect visibility. I hope there weren’t any accidents from such foolish driving!

Twyla Erb sent me a 5 generation picture of her family. The names are Alyssa McCune, Charleigh McCarthy, Lauri McCune, Twyla Erb and Theresa McCune.
I attended the Ryder Bazaar on Saturday and later Staci, Johnny and Kenny joined us. There were lots of new vendors but sadly a lack of people to buy their products. There was a variety of food offered for sale by Barb Miles. I finally had to have a polish sausage. She was kept busy serving her customers. There were quite a few turkeys given away and luckily I received one.

Dave Kimball and his candy board.

Dave Kimball tuned 65 the other day and of course we senior citizens had to give him a bad time on Monday during the senior citizens gathering. Denise Johnson made him a candy board with the following sayings on it...Turning 65 is nothing to “Snicker” about. Your mind will play “Twix” on you. Your joints will begin to “Crunch”. You will have “Butterfingers”. Your “Whatchamacallit” won’t work. You will be popping pills like “Tic Tacs”. You will make numerous “Fast Break” to the bathroom. You will have “Zero” energy so “Take 5” and have “Mounds” of fun. A “Hot Tamales” like you deserves some “Extra” attention on your birthday!
Dave and Kathy Kimball enjoyed keeping 4 of their grandkids over the weekend, while Amanda and Joe Mccallum and Tristan Kimball went deer hunting. and Tristan (their grandson) got his first deer! Amanda and Joe got theirs shortly afterwards. Dave and Kathy had a fun Saturday on Kathy's 64th birthday at Ryders annual Bazaar, held in the Ryder Community Gym. Kathy and Dave's youngest son Carl and his wife, Crystal Cree, their 3 kids, Matayah, Avery and Ean came out and brought pizza for supper.
The weather was beautiful Saturday and there were a lot of new and fun vendors at the Ryder Bazaar. We appreciate the Ryder Community Center for putting on this fun event every year. We really enjoy it.
Dave Kimball celebrated his birthday, Sunday a little less chaotic, but never the less, he turned 65!! Joe, Amanda, and Tristan spent the day with Dave and Kathy and told their hunting stories and shared their hunting pictures with Mom and Dad.
The Community Food Pantry would like to tell everyone they appreciated everyone helping them with bags, they now have enough, and for food and money donations. The needed turkeys for Christmas baskets were bought with those donations and other items for the pantry. It was a great relief (says Kathy Kimball, one of the managers), to have these helpful donations come in and ease our money pockets. They would also like to how much they appreciated the anonymous donation of 30 blankets (new). Wow!! They will go out with Christmas Baskets.
The Pantry will be open from 10 to 2 p.m. on November 18th.
I received a letter from Wendell Hjelmstad and he said the following, “Hi Sue, We enjoyed seeing the picture of Carol Hansen, we used to visit with Carol and Wayne when we wintered in Arizona, they also stayed here a time or two on their way south. On some of our visits to ND we had some good times at their Hiddenwood farm with them and their family. Good memories!!! How about a picture of Wayne too? Ann and Wendell Hjelmstad.
Mark and Laurie Reece will be guest ministers at Calvary Church this Sunday, November 19. They will be ministering in the Sunday morning worship service at 10:30am. Laurie is the daughter of Gerald and Delina Johansen and grew up in Ryder. Everyone is invited to this special service as they share the revelation of God’s love that has changed and shaped their lives, family and ministry! Mark and Laurie with their daughter Jubilee will also be sharing with the Upper Room Teens group in the evening at 5:30pm.
Clever Housework Tips for Lazy People
Wise Wanda and Helpful Harry have original tips for how to do housework better, quicker and easier. You get two experts for the price of one, each with a different point of view about housework. They offer invaluable how-to-do housework tips for cooking, cleaning the kitchen, storing food, baking, headaches and leftovers.
Wise Wanda Says: Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips. Helpful Harry Says: Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake, you are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway.
Wise Wanda Says: Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle and you'll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time. Helpful Harry Says: Buy the precooked kind you nuke in the microwave for 30 seconds. The hard part is getting them out of the plastic bag.
I may have more tips next week!
