“Happy Birthday to our Aunt Irene Riley”

Jul 16th “Happy Birthday to our Aunt Irene Riley”

“Aunt Irene Riley Birthday… almost here”

It sure is good to be able to remember … Birthdays – – of the rich and famous “RILEY” FAMILY – – whether they are here – – and – – or where ever… they may be.

“How is this PHOTO of the “RILEY’s” – – in the lap of luxury in the 1960’s – – that is “IRENE”… herself – – on the left and “BILL” on the right – – there is “company” as we can see some ‘shoes’ of someone on the sofa.

In the 1950’s… when the “TV” was a very new item for most families, and they would invite a neighbor or two… to check out getting so much new information and with pictures too, by joining them just to watch the NEWS of the DAY… and then, between the “NEWS of the DAY” on the new “TV” and the “newspaper” – – what an exciting evening – “LIFE for RILEY” – or what more … could or would you be expecting?”

NOW… let us compare the above PHOTO – to the PHOTO below – this could be from the very same “MOVIE” – “my oh my… o” – – WOULD these be the very same people?

That is our …”AUNT IRENE” on the left – with… her little apron on, as she is still on “KITCHEN DUTY”.

Could this maybe… be in the 1920’s…

Just looking at those dark long stockings and the length of “Aunt Irene’s” skirt … so long and also a dark color for those times?

No… air “conditioning” in these early years, the porch may just be the best place to be in the early evening, and after Supper, while you are waiting for a special and most delicious dessert?

I’m guessing that they may have had the first course – – and are making room for dessert.

“One thing that I know, for sure… Aunt Irene could out cook and bake anyone, she did know all about preparing and then all of the finishing touches and having the food just right… oh well… may as well … just say so here… when she prepared anything yo eat… it was the very BEST.”

The facts are … I know, that there was never a complaint as everyone always wanted more of all the “GOOD EATS” … as they were always just…TERRIFIC!

This must have been the “RILEY” sitting theme… “BILL”… himself , always sitting on the right side… whenever there was any kind of an indication that some PHOTOS were to be taken… that is… if they would be including him!

No imposters nor a stand-in for “RILEY” that way… there was never a question about… “who done it” when something was ever out of place.

Sometimes in Life… you will hear someone say something that makes sense and you always try to remember good stuff like that… so if my brain can recall correctly… here goes, that thought as I remember, and hopefully half correct… in case not so correct…please write in, and by all means… correct my errors!

As I try to recall, that there is something about that “old saying” .

“A place for everything… and everything in its place” …

adds up to not having any discouraging words.

… That is one way to be HAPPY – – forever! …

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY – – – AUNT IRENE BRADY RILEY”
