| Downed tree limb in Ryder Park |
We
lucked out on the severe weather that the forecasters were talking
about for this past weekend. We did have lots of wind and strong wind
gusts. My rain gauge showed .50. I drove around town looking for broken
tree limbs and other wind damage but luckily I didn’t find much! There
was a broken tree limb on the ground in the park and my son had a tree
limb break and hit his garage but that’s all I found!
I
finally got the batteries charged up for my camper so I could get the 3
slides out and get everything out of it. I am hoping to sell it as I
don’t use it since Kenny passed away. Too hard for me to hook up a fifth
wheel! But oh my, I sure do like that camper!

| Little Red Rock in front of Veteran’s Wall |
There
has been someone going around our little town putting little painted
red rocks with messages on them. There was one in front of the post
office that said “Joy” and one in front of the Veteran’s wall that said
“Jesus loves you”. What a neat idea and thing to do.
John Warner, President of the Ryder Historical Society says, “The
Ryder Museum is looking for a couple of things to be donated. We would
like to acquire an early Citizens Band radio base unit, one from the 60s
or 70s--should be intact but doesn't have to work. Would consider a
very early desktop computer; something like a Commodore 64. Again, needs
to look good but doesn't need to work. Also a wooden slide rule.
We
also have some painting to be done this spring. Much of it could be
done with a spray gun if someone has one but most could also be done
with a brush and roller. Neatness counts!!!”
The
118th Hiddenwood Old Settlers annual picnic will be held on Sunday,

different this year. This year it will be an Old Fashioned Picnic, bring
your own basket lunch and you can sit under the shelters at outside
tables or in the main building. Coffee and bottled water will be
provided free of charge. There will be an 11 a.m. All Faith Church
Service. Bring a lawn chair for the outside service or you may also sit
in the main building. There will be a program after lunch. They welcome
your talent on stage! Pie and coffee for purchase in the afternoon.
Hiddenwood Picnic Grounds are 8 miles south of Makoti on County Road #9.
Practice Social Distancing...Take care...Stay Safe.
There will be no Ryder Community Club Bingo in June or July, due to the pandemic.
