“BILL and IRENE RILEY – Memory”
Here is … the young “RILEY’s – – and we all have seen – – episodes of “the… LIFE of RILEY” – – – – well just a big… maybe “they … the couple sitting on their back porch” – – were used as the typical role models… as to just exactly – – the RILEY’s … BILL and IRENE – – did and did not do and “HOW” they reacted to each other and the whole wide world!
Check out those “black stockings” – – those alone give you an idea of when this PHOTO was taken. Is your guess – – early 1900’s?
Here is what I see in this PHOTO – – “IRENE” has her apron on – – so that tells you that she is still into the preparation of supper – – for her husband, “BILL” – – and since he picked up the “NEWS-PAPER” – when he left the office… where he works – – in the downtown, St.Louis area – – he does not own a vehicle as yet – – and it is good to be able to catch up on all the NEWS of the DAY – – as when riding on the bus – – there are so many stops made – and if you have something, to do with your TIME – – you will have some NEWS of the DAY to pass on to your wife.
Since the specially prepared food is running a bit longer – – looks like “IRENE” is all ears to hear about something important going on in the world – – – if only her husband, “BILL” – – will stop reading …. and spill the “BEANS” – – “What a LIFE… for young “RILEY” – – just waiting patiently?”
“IRENE” has always receive rave reviews for all of her cooking and baking – – I know – she taught me well – – and she received the best of instructions from her MOTHER, “ANNE E. BRADY” – – because “MR. BRADY” said that – – my MOTHER, “MARIE” verified that fact to me!
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT IRENE!”
