Ryder News for Feb. 27, 2020

| Mystery Photo |
I got a rather neat picture to use for the mystery photo. I’m sure most will guess who this is but decided to use it anyway!
With
this roller coaster weather I am ready for the week...I’ve got my
umbrella, my flip flops, turtle neck, suntan lotion, fur coat, sun
glasses, my thermals, my tank top and my Vicks!
Yay, the snow missed us, they had been forecasting 1-3 inches so we lucked out again!
Grace
Magandy told me that the skunks are out, there was one by her place so
she said if anyone in Ryder lets their animals out to beware that they
might come home stinky!
Faye
Karna reports their grandson, Keaton Erhardt, placed at the State
Wrestling Match at Fargo this past weekend. He has wrestled 2 years for
Legacy High. He is the son of Kellie and Tom Erhardt. Faye stayed with
Keaton's younger brother. Of course, Kolby would rather have been in
Fargo watching his brother. But, he had school.
Well,
it has already started again! My cat, Shadow, has been going outside
almost all this winter altho he doesn’t stay out real long. He did stay
out quite late the other night and of course, as he did all last summer,
brought us treats to leave on the deck. I guess he thinks it’s a reward
for me feeding him all the time. Anyway, I at first thought it was a
gopher but upon closer inspection...it wasn’t. Then I thought a vole but
it didn’t have a pointy little nose then I thought a rat but it didn’t
have a long tail. This critter was about 3 times the size of an average
mouse. I finally decided that it was a mole. I threw it over the fence
this morning as the dogs were quite interested in the dead body! Then
Staci sent me a picture of a mole...a mole has little hand looking front
feet and I never thought to inspect this one’s feet but I still say it
was a mole!
It
looks like there was a pretty good turnout for the Ryder Fire Dept. and
First Responders Benefit Breakfast. I just stopped by to drop off a
donation but didn’t stay as I was on my way to Minot.
My
son, Rick smoked a chicken this Saturday with the smoker he got for
Christmas. He put a half of a smoked chicken in my fridge while I was in
Minot. What a good kid, he does that every once in a while!
I’m
sure that most of my readers read the upcoming events and hopefully saw
that we were having a church service at 5 p.m. last Saturday with
supper and a movie afterwards. It was a great little meal of sloppy
joes, chips, bars and drinks. The movie afterwards was “Breakthrough”
and it was a story of a teen who falls through an icy Missouri lake and
had no pulse for nearly 45 minutes until his mother prayed. This movie
was based on a true story. It was a very riveting movie and a tear
jerker.
I
was doing a lot of deep coughing during church and the movie so my dear
friends convinced me to let them take me to the ER that evening to see
if I had pneumonia. They took me over and stayed while I was examined.
Staci, John and Johnny McGrath also came to ER for moral support.
Luckily I didn’t have pneumonia, just a cough. I got prescriptions for
an antibiotic, stuff for my nebulizer and for my cough. Hope I get over
this pretty soon as I’ve had it for at least 3 weeks.
Danny
and Ellen Hoffer’s daughter Katie, married Manuel Mendoza on Feb. 22,
