Ryder News Dec 14, 2017


Ryder News for Dec. 14, 2017

Kenny Bradley (my hubby) has been in the hospital since Thursday morning. He didn't feel well that morning after getting ready for dialysis. He got so weak that he couldn’t stand or walk and Staci finally wound up calling an ambulance for him and he was taken to the ER and later admitted to ICU. He is finally on the 4th floor at Trinity. We are still not sure what exactly is wrong with him. He just doesn’t feel good. He had a CT scan today (Sunday) looking to see why he has such stomach pain all the time. Prayers would be appreciated.

There will be NO Dec. 16th Saturday evening church services at St. John’s Lutheran Church of Ryder.

Don Alderman with his deer
Troy Alderman wasn’t sure what to buy his dad Don Alderman last summer for his birthday. He remembered him saying he’d like to hunt in his home state of Wisconsin one more time. So Troy bought him a non-resident deer license. Some good friends of Troy’s near the Dells invited them to hunt their property. So after a 55 year absence Don Alderman crossed this off his wish list, and he did it with a muzzleloader which he had never shot before and of course he got his deer! Troy wasn’t sure who was more excited, his dad or him. Troy said, “I appreciate Joe and Renee Bokota and their son Joseph for helping me with this.” It’s something neither Don nor Troy will soon forget.
Of course, Elaine got to go along also. The first evening she and daughter in law Georgie and granddaughter Grace stayed at one of the hotels in the Dells, it was off season so the price was dirt cheap. Then they went back to Troy’s house in Camanche since it’s only a 3 hour drive.

Santa Day in Ryder will be Saturday, Dec. 16, 2017 at the Ryder Community Center/Gym. There will be Kids Crafts at 1:30 and Santa will show up around 2 p.m. and the turkey drawing will be at 3 p.m.

Happy Birthday to Wayne Hanson whose 90th birthday is Monday Dec. 18.
