Ryder News for July 2, 2020
Faye
Karna spent almost a week in the hospital in Bismarck due to a
bacterial infection. She is out of the hospital now and feeling fine!
.12
inches of rain Wednesday night June 24th and the power went off just
long enough to make me reset coffee pot and TV. We’ve had thunder and
lightning the past few days but alas, no rain! The power did go off
again Saturday and once again as usual, it knocked the power off to
coffee pot and TV. It doesn’t stay off long enough to shut clocks off
tho, which is kind of weird! Now we have been having tornado warnings
and heat warnings. I saw a facebook live post today (Monday) where the
Storm Chasers are in the area and are going to be looking for the
tornados that are forecast for this Monday afternoon and evening. We
sure don’t want tornados but we’d like some rain!

Kathy
and Dave Kimball’s granddaughter won a bike at the Hiddenwood Picnic
and decided to give it to her grandmother to give to another child that
doesn’t have one! What a nice little girl!
Crystal Cree, daughter-in-law of Kathy and Dave Kimball
said the following, “For the last 20 years of being married into the
Kimball family this was our first Hiddenwood picnic experience. We all
had a great time and we will definitely be back for years to come. The
raffle prizes were amazing and we are all grateful for the winnings. I’m
a super proud mom that Avery decided to donate the bike back to another
child who is in need. God is good all the time. Thanks again
Ryder/Makoti and other areas for including us.”

| Bald Eagle visiting the Hiddenwood Picnic. |
There
is a bald eagle nest near the Hiddenwood area and it has two little
ones in it. Rather a neat thing for our area and they’ve been in this
area for a few years now!
The
McGrath family spent the weekend at the lake and my brother Dick, his
wife Debbie and I decided to go to the lake and visit them on Friday
evening. They
had
a beautiful spot surrounded by trees on the west, north and south. Then
when they were on their way home on Sunday, they ran into a heavy storm
by Max with lots of rain and marble size hail. There were many vehicles
pulled off to the side of the road to wait out the storm and they did
as well.

| Tessa Walters and Andrew Gilpin |
There
will be a Wedding Social at the Makoti High School Gym on July 11th at 3
p.m. for Tessa Walters and Andrew Gilpin. Come and celebrate with them
and wish them well.
The
Ryder Museum is looking for a couple of things to be donated. They
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.
They
also have some painting that needs 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.
The 2020 Makoti Threshing Show will still take place as scheduled on July 10 to the 12th. More details to follow.
Upcoming Events:
Ryder’s
Calvary church will continue to hold Parking Lot Drive-In Church
services at 10:30 every Sunday morning until further notice. Tune to
107.5 on your FM radio station to listen to the service.
July 5--9 a.m. Worship service at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Ryder.
July 5--10:30 a.m. Worship service at Hope Lutheran Church in Makoti.
