Enjoying “The Life of Riley” … as the old phrase goes
Posted By RichC on February 5, 2025
While sitting down after our long beach walk with a warm breeze on a sunny day while in Delray Beach, Florida, I commented to Brenda that we were living “The Life of Riley.” I assumed she would be familiar with the reference and meaning that we were living a comfortable and carefree life. She surprised me by not being familiar with the phrase and of course didn’t believe I knew what 
I was talking about — a logical conclusion!
Of course the next few minutes I did what all of us do these days … pull out my smartphone and looked it up … saying, “see, told you so!” (BTW, image above is my current wallpaper … a photo of the path we walk to get to the beach — almost always whisks all my worries away)
To be fair, I did not know that there was a 1940s situation comedy radio show, a comic book and two television series with the same reference.
The real point is that “right now for us” … life is wonderful and we are so blessed to have this time to enjoy extended vacations … or semi-retirement if the term fits … together.
