Ryder News for March 19, 2020
SPRING
IS ON THE WAY!! No more snow, warm weather and all the other wonderful
things with winter finally over..we could only wish!! But...spring is
really on the way!
Wow,
I can’t believe how the gas prices are going down. In Minot today the
price was $1.99 and the price in Max today was $1.85. So, we can save
money on gas to enable us to buy toilet paper if there is any to be
found!
The Ryder-Makoti Rural Fire Protection District will be POSTPONING their Annual Meeting from March 23rd until a later date.
Dave
and Kathy Kimball had 3 of their grandkids from Wednesday evening to
Sunday afternoon, due to Minot school spring break. They all enjoyed
being at the farm.
Kathy
and Dave would like prayers for their nephew in Colorado, Brett Bogert,
who had an old Bronco 4x4 fall on him when he was working under it. He
was able to wiggle out and call his wife Erin to come take him to ER. He
suffered broken ribs and a broken collar bone. They did surgery
immediately on his collar bone. Now the long haul of mending.
Ugh...4
inches of snow here in Ryder Saturday evening thru Sunday night. I had
to go to Minot Monday morning for my tax appointment and thank goodness
for my son Rick. He rescheduled his Dr. appointment in Bismarck so he
could drive me to Minot. I sure am glad that he did as the roads, except
for Highway 83, weren’t all that great. Highway 28 was the worst with
lots of ice and snow, Highway 23 was better and of course Highway 83 was
fine. We did some shopping, picked up pills, I had another appointment
and then I bought lunch as neither one of us had breakfast.
Depending
on the Coronavirus Pandemic, there will be several benefit fundraisers
this month. I will keep you informed if the benefits will be canceled.
I did hear that there should not be gatherings of more than 10 people
due to the pandemic but I don’t know if that is enforceable.
There
will be a benefit for Billie Miller, widow of Art Miller, on March 21st
at the Ryder Star Bar in Ryder to help with the bills. There will be a
free will offering for supper starting at 4:30-7:30. There will be a
silent auction and then starting at 8 p.m. music by Musik Worx.
There
will be a benefit for Nathan Wohlk to help with his kidney medical
expenses, on March 27th at the Ryder Star Bar in Ryder starting with
food served from 4:30-7:30. There will also be a silent auction and then
music by Dave Diffely.
Remember
the Ryder Community Gym will be open Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for anyone that wants to walk.
