We saw so many famous people this weekend. Dorothy, Glenda the Good Witch, the Wicked Witch and the scarecrow...lego-man, Bush, Nixon, I Love Lucy, Steve Jobs....the list goes on...we are pretty important people, we know people.
I'm Riley, a South Carolina girl born and raised. I love sweet tea, family, beautiful architecture, my wonderful husband, interior design, boiled peanuts and the lake. Trained in architecture, pursuing a passion for interior design; follow us as we design and renovate our 100 year old bungalow.
a carefree, comfortable, and thoroughly enjoyable way of living
The phrase "living the life of Riley" was commonly used among Irish soldiery during WWI. The first known citation of the phrase used in context was a letter written by Private Walter J. Kennedy and published in The Syracuse Herald on June 29, 1918. The piece was entitled "Great Life, Writes Soldier at Camp":
"This is surely one great life. We call it the life of Riley. We are having fine eats, are in great detachment and the experience one gets is fine."

WOW! You guys did Halloween good! Love all of the costumes.
Me and my daughter were both witches.
This was the first time in years we have gone all out! It's so much more fun when everyone gets dressed up :)
