Ryder News for Feb. 13, 2020 

My news will probably be rather bland this week as I don’t have any more mouse adventure stories to tell! Nothing exciting at my house except I have a sinus infection and I cough most of the night. I finally went to Minot today and got some medicine. Of course there is a little story with that...the Dr. sent the prescription to the wrong pharmacy and after several phone calls, I finally went to the clinic and talked to them and eventually it was all straightened out! In the meantime, Staci and I went grocery shopping, picked Johnny up from school, went to Walmart, went out to eat and then back to the pharmacy to get my pills.

Andrea Skarphol received a silver buckle  for all around champion at the Trail Riders annual awards banquet the other night. She also received prizes in all of  the events that she participated in. Her parents, Harlan and Fern Skarphol are very proud of her hard work.
