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.
