The
Ryder Historical Society is just finishing a new display on the Soo
Line Railroad and really appreciates all the help of Jennifer
Andreachi, and Kirby and Kyle Mueller. They would still like to get a
few rail spikes--one or a dozen or so. You can contact John Warner or
just leave them by the door of the new building. Also most anything that
says Soo Line on it; signs, tools, invoices, shipping schedules, dishes
or commemorative items etc.
The Museum will hold an open house the afternoon of Saturday, August 29th, 1-5 p.m.
in honor of the life and work of Larry and Shirley Cunningham. The
Cunninhams brought so much energy and creativity to the museum and we
would like to acknowledge their contribution.

“Busy”
seems to be the word at Ron and Muriel Peterson’s home lately. But it
has been a good and pleasant “busy”. Last Friday Dwight Paulson of
Madison, Wisconsin came to spend a few days. They all met Rodger Haugen
from Devils Lake for lunch in Minot that day. On Sunday Ron, Muriel and
Dwight went to Bismarck for dinner and visiting with Faye Karna, Sharon
and Jerry Franklin and Mike Haugen. This Thursday Rodger Haugen brought
some muffins and stopped to have coffee at the Petersons'.
He was on his way to the Haugen farm to watch some combining. On Sunday
Rondi and Cole Deaver spent the afternoon and evening with Ron and
Muriel. After supper, Cole and grandma Muriel baked some chocolate chip
cookies.
For all the out of state readers of my column...we have been having some REALLY hot weather!! Last Monday all
3 of my thermometers showed 96°. Yikes it was hot! It stayed hot for
the rest of the week (in the high 90’s), I guess that is August in ND!
Staci,
John and Johnny McGrath stayed in their camper at my place this weekend
to help get some things done. I sure do appreciate all they have been
doing for me!
My
new garage is almost finished, basically all that is left is to hook up
the electric and get the garage doors put in. There is still a little
bit of steel trim that needs to be finished and yippee it will be finished!
My
double-wide home is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday and set up
either Thursday or Friday of this week. Then the fun starts...painting
the inside and getting all my “stuff” moved!
