Ryder News for Jan. 18
See, I told you in last
week’s short little column that we would probably be back in the deep freeze by
the time you got your paper. Well, guess what, I was right! Ugh I hate cold
weather and snow. At least this weather keeps me in the house so I can work on
the checkbooks and the Thank You cards. I have lots to write out and absolutely
no ambition!
How many of my readers
have this crud that is going around? It’s either the flu or a sinus infection
like I am battling or just a rotten ugly cold. Take care and if you have any of
the flu symptoms, go to your Dr. and find out for sure. In my family, Rick and
Levi have the flu, Staci has something but not sure what it is, may be the flu.
Of course I have this sinus infection which is getting better but I still have
this ugly sounding cough.
Charlene (Chickie)
Knudson passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Jan. 10th, after a
courageous battle with cancer. She was the daughter of Milo and Lelah Knudson.
Chickie’s youngest daughter Debra Thompson notified me as Chickie had asked her
to do. She and I shared many letters and phone calls from when I first met her
over the Ryder Centennial in 2006 and became very good friends. She will be
missed. R.I.P. Chickie.
