Ryder News for July 9, 2020

| Large tree limb broken off from a tree at Gary Hagen’s home in Ryder a week ago in Saturday’s storm. |
A
little rain fell on Saturday, but lots of wind. Gary Hagen lost a tree
limb in that storm and in the Tuesday/Wednesday storm last week, my
brother lost a 70 ft. evergreen tree at his rural Ryder home that was
uprooted in the Tuesday/Wednesday storm!
Total rainfall at my house from the 2 day storm on Tuesday and Wednesday last week was 4.5 inches.

I received the following nice message, “Hi
Sue. This is Jennifer and Gregg Andreachi. We moved to Ryder two years
ago, and have fallen in love with the community. When the opportunity
arose to buy the school, we were excited to purchase and restore the
historic building. We want to see it respectfully preserved for those
who share the memories and for future generations to enjoy. For the time
being, we intend on using it as a personal hobby shop after completing
some much needed repairs/renovation.”
Thanks
for the nice message and we are all so glad that you like our little
community and that you have purchased the old school building.

John
and Staci along with Johnny McGrath and their 2 dogs went camping at
the camp ground on the edge of Garrison. The weather was dreadfully hot
and then on Saturday, the 4th, the fireworks started. They finally had
to leave and head back to Minot as their dogs were absolutely terrified
and they are OLD dogs. They were afraid they would have a stroke or
heart attack from being so scared.
About
1:30 the morning of July 4th I was awakened by flashes of lightning and
loud booms of thunder. I thought, “Oh boy, we are in for another round
of storms”, but after awhile it all went away and not a drop of
rain...just noise!
