Jul 15th “Happy Birthday Greetings to our Aunt Irene”

“Aunt Irene Riley…PHOTOS FOUND”

Thanks to Jill… for reminding me the other day – –

that there was an old PHOTO of “AUNT IRENE” in the house on  “Fenway  Drive” – –

she was sure that  is where she had heard of our Aunt Irene – –

having never met her – – but remember so much of us talking about an AUNT IRENE – –

and if the PHOTO – – that she remembered was still available?

The above PHOTO was inside the frame  and under the PHOTO – – that you see below – –

and I am showing it first…

because – – that is the face, that  I remember best.

This is the PHOTO of AUNT IRENE – –

and  with it… several other framed PHOTOS – –

which were packed for moving so many years ago – –

well how does someone look for  “stuff  away items” to hang on the walls – –

when all the walls …  are just not suitable for hanging…

“your prize winning arts of OLD!”

These “PHOTOS” were taken… and this is my thoughts… the chair that “Aunt Irene” is sitting in…

 is a “FAMILY HEIRLOOM” – – there is a MR. and MRS. chair –

– and IRENE is sitting in the “MR.” chair and this is the old tapestry material – –

some time later  “Aunt Irene” had the chairs re-covered —

 these chairs were “WEDDING GIFTS”  to  my Grand Parents,  Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. BRADY  – –

I do not have the WEDDING date available – – but  the year 1875 – – would be a good guess.

The “PHOTOS” on the table next to where “Aunt Irene” is sitting is her husband, Wm. B. Riley  and their one and only son, Bernard Riley.  

I  do believe … that they also celebrated  at least “60 years”  marriage as did … Mr. and Mrs. Thomas  F. BRADY.
