Ryder News for Sept. 19, 2019
Good
Morning everyone...Let’s celebrate! It finally stopped raining and the
temps are on the rise. It will be in the 90’s here today, Monday. The 2-day
total last week for Wednesday and Thursday showed 2.80 in my rain gauge
and judging from all the water in the ditches and low spots plus the
damp floor in my basement, I’d say that my rain gauge had pretty much
the right total. I’m sure there were others that had less and probably
lots more that had bigger totals!
Of
course, with all the added moisture, the grass is really growing and
it’s time for me to get out the mowers and get some of my yards mowed.
The rain has really hurt the crops tho, as I heard there is some sprouting in the heads due to the rain.
Roger
Haugen, 78, rural Des Lacs passed away on Thursday, September 5, 2019
in a Minot nursing home from complications related to Alzheimer’s
Disease. He was surrounded by his loving family when he passed.
Harlan,
Fern and Andrea Skarphol along with Andrea’s friend Colton went to a
family reunion at Harlan’s cousin Robert’s farm at McGregor. Andrea
brought and rode two of her horses and Harlan’s nephew, Mark brought his
big Clydesdale horses that he purchased in Iowa from the Amish. He took
all the relatives on a ride in the pasture of Harlan’s old farmstead
using his homemade wagon. Everyone brought potluck and Fern says it was
delicious!
Faye
Karna of Bismarck spent Thursday and Friday at the Ron Peterson home.
On Thursday, the ladies went to Trinity Nursing Home in Minot to spend
time visiting with Kay Haugen and family as Roger was a patient there. Friday they returned to Minot to visit with Marvel and Jim Bakken. They also briefly visited with Roxann (Olson) Klein.
The
Community Food Pantry along with the Ryder Community Club were able to
send 3 boxes of much needed mismatched shoes to the charity Soles for
Souls from their pop up
store. They also donated a van full of items left from the store to
men's and women's shelters in the area. And they were able to donate
some supplies for the Plaza School.
Judy
Kimball told Kathy about planet green ink cartridge recycling. They
sent off what was left of all the ink cartridges they had in the
Community Club Pop Up Store.
Kathy
Kimball said it has been so much fun and humbling to work on these
projects. They are also working on backpacks for kids with the Plaza
school. If you have donations for that project, the food pantry will
make sure they get it.
