Ryder News for Aug. 20, 2020
My
sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Magdaline Giesen. She
passed away on Friday, Aug.14th at a Garrison nursing home. She married
Anthony Giesen on Jan. 10, 1950. They made their home in Makoti where
they raised their 5 children.

There
were over 30 kids attending Vacation Bible School this past week,
Monday thru Wednesday. Johnny really enjoyed it and since it is just for
kids up to 6th grade, this was his last year. Levi decided he liked it
too! All the kids were invited back to attend church on the following
Sunday to sing and do their Power Shuffle dance on the trailer he uses
to preach to the ones attending the service.
Pastor Starks said, “VBS
Sunday outside on the trailer was a wonderful success! We were blessed
by the kids as they shared with us in song and dance! They ended the
service with a proclamation that we all need to be reminded of, ‘TRUST
JESUS’!”

There
was lots of loud thunder Thursday morning but just a little rain at my
house, .05. Friday morning I woke up to rain and it turned into an all
morning rain with my rain gauge showing .60 when all was said and done!
Some of this thunder we have been having has been so loud that it shakes
my house and of course makes the dog bark!
Greg
and Jackie Nelson had some bad luck last week as their garage and
mobile home in Bismarck sustained major damage in a fire that had
started in their garage.
They
lost their garage and half of their home is burned with smoke damage
throughout the entire home. They were in the house when the fire
started. Luckily they were able to get out alive and unharmed. Greg is
also battling Lymphoma cancer and undergoing his 7th round of chemo this
week! Greg is my nephew and the son of Lorraine Nelson of Douglas.
Staci,
John and Johnny came out Sunday to help me clean out one of the
upstairs bedrooms. Most of the treasures up there belonged to Staci! I
found a few toys to advertise for sale on Facebook. We still have
another bedroom to go thru and also the attic. I can’t believe how much stuff a person can accumulate over the years!
My
new home should be here on the 24th of this month if there aren’t any
delays and windy days! I’m getting kind of excited but I have lots of
work to get done before I can actually move in...moving propane tanks,
getting new garage finished and hooked up to electricity, getting inside
of double-wide painted and then of course, moving all of my “stuff”!
I
need news from my readers or there probably won’t be a Ryder News
column any more! I’m sure a lot of you are getting tired of reading
about the things I am doing, so send me some news and maybe a few
pictures!
