Ryder News for Nov. 7, 2019
The
McLean County Independent didn’t reach very many homes around here as
the paper seems to have gotten lost, so a lot of my upcoming events were
over with before anyone received their paper! We finally got our
Garrison paper here in Ryder on Monday, Nov. 4th.

I
didn’t have very many trick or treaters at my house Halloween, there
were only a total of 5 at my door to scare me and get some treats!
That’s about par for the kids around here. Levi Sprinkle was all decked
out as a zombie. His mom did a real good job with the makeup. Johnny
McGrath was dressed as Jonah from the TV show SuperStore and his mom made his outfit. That means lots of candy left for me or whoever might stop by. Peggy Reinisch said she had 16 kids at her house.
Floyd Knodel sent me a message and he said, “I
remember Halloween of 1968 when a large (20) group of high school boys
had to be confronted by city parents. There was a huge amount of
materials thrown into city streets making them almost impassable. Jody Reinisch and I watched from his parent's backyard as city elders challenged the group around 9 p.m. It was a wild Halloween!”
I’ve kinda been avoiding gatherings of people as I’m currently having radiation treatments again and I really don’t want to get sick and miss any of them.
I’m
sure not impressed with the weather and the snow covered and icy roads,
especially since I have to go in every day for these radiation
treatments. My son Rick volunteered to drive me over Monday as I didn’t
know how bad the roads would be after the snowfall Sunday. Highway 28
wasn’t that great and neither was Highway 23 until we got past the Rice
Lake Curve.
