Living in "The Life of Riley"

Way before I was born, in the 1940's, "The Life Riley" was a radio comedy show.  In 1949, NBC aired  two different television shows with different characters.  It was so popular that comedian Jackie Gleason played the starring role for a year(pictured below) and there was a film version in 1950 starring the original lead actor, William Bendix. In 1955, there was another TV show on "The Life of Riley." Basically, people could not get enough of  Riley.

I remembered this title recently since our grandchild's name is Riley and we are living in "The Life of Riley." I realize that every baby is adorable, (except for the one in the Seinfeld episode), but I figured I would share some of my favorite pictures of Riley since she just became five months old.  I might do this once a year, but not more than that-promise.

This is obviously Holiday Riley.  Her first Christmas/Hannukah and she was enjoying all the lights.

This is Smiley Riley enjoying time with her grandma and my wife.

This is Singing Riley as the two of us belt out our first song without words, but a lot of sounds.

Stroller Riley enjoying the ride in her stroller.

This is Snow Riley relaxing in the snow.

This is Hungry Riley and she is about to start eating her first pizza pie.  She may be able to review it in a couple years.

There is no doubt that 2025 will be the "Year of Riley," and we're just enjoying the journey with her.
