Ryder News for Dec. 5, 2019

| Paul Wacek |
On Wednesday, Nov. 27th, Joann Johnson, Judy Hansen and Harlan Hansen from Minot, Sherman and Layne Peterson from Makoti, Kermit and Marcy Hansen from Ryder helped Paul Wacek of Benedictine Living Center in Garrison to celebrate his 98th birthday. Paul is formerly from Makoti.
Paul’s actual birthday was on Thanksgiving Day. He said that his
birthday falls on Thanksgiving every 7 years. Happy Birthday Paul.
Torri Nelson and David Banks traveled to Iowa to spend Thanksgiving with the Troy Alderman family.
Spending
Thanksgiving Day with John, Staci and Johnny McGrath were Sue Bradley,
Rick Sprinkle, Shawna Gilpin, Gage Gilpin and Levi Sprinkle. Staci and
John fixed an incredible meal and we were all thoroughly stuffed!
Dave
and Kathy Kimball spent Thanksgiving with Richard and Judy Kimball and
family, Janice and Brian Bogert and family in Colorado. They flew into
Colorado the morning before the 'big storm'. They had a great time and
ate way too much. And they did absolutely ZERO black Friday shopping!
Faye Karna spent Thanksgiving with her girls and families and they had dinner at Kyann's home in New Salem. There were extra teenagers present due to friends of Kyann's girls.
Marilyn and Delroy Wohlk
spent Thanksgiving with their daughter and family. Tami and Charlie
Bisbee live at York, ND, and their 3 children are Seth, Taylor and Chas
(Charlie).
Jody, Peggy and Josh Reinisch enjoyed Thanksgiving Day at the home of Kelsey, Alex, Kallie and Kirby DesRoches. Also enjoying dinner with them were Marlys Hanson, Jerome Harstad, Jaco Westhyzen, Lorn, Corinna and Adam DesRoches, Mary and Mike Vaughn and Ron and Sharon DesRoches.
Guests
at the Ron and Muriel Peterson home were their daughters and their
families-the Deavers from Minot and the Marts from LaMoure. The Marts
weekend was cut short due to the weather report. They went back home
Friday morning. Bruce and Deb Peterson were supper guests at Ron
Peterson's Saturday evening.
A granddaughter of Kermit and Marcy Hansen is going to college for this year in Uruguay, South America. She is taking an Internation Study through NDSC and concentrating on speaking different forms of Spanish. JayLyn is the daughter of Greg and Lynae (Hansen) Lardy of Fargo.
I received a message from Heidi Mausten and she commented on the article about the Leifson family. She wanted to clarify that her mother Beverly Hankel (Leifson) is alive and well in Washington state and that Gary and Kathy are both Leifsons (I thought the article said they were Leifsons).
I apologized to Heidi about the article being incorrect and said it was
a submitted piece and we didn’t mean to offend anyone!

(Larson) Ehlert of Renton, Washington, formerly from Ryder, passed away
Sunday, Nov. 24th at her home with her family by her side.

The Ryder Senior Citizens held their Christmas meeting on Monday, Dec. 2nd. They invited the Makoti Senior Citizens to join them for a Christmas dinner. Due to the ice covered
roads, there wasn’t a whole lot of people attending the dinner but
there was a lot of food and everyone there got totally full and some
even took leftovers home. Christmas gifts of Walmart gift cards were
given away to those lucky enough to have their name drawn! Everyone
enjoyed Sylvia Enockson playing her guitar and singing a few songs.
Their next meeting will be Jan. 6th at noon. Area seniors are invited to
come and see what it’s all about and hopefully decide to join.
Everyone is invited to Calvary Church’s Christmas Program, Sunday, December 8th
at 10:30 a.m. The Sunday School kids, Upper Room Teens and church
family have a variety of skits and musical numbers for the whole family
to enjoy. This is their once a year, unique service to celebrate the birth of Jesus so they hope you will join them!
