Joy to the world!

Merry Christmas from the Riley family. We went to the Matthews gathering yesterday and were not successful in the eating contest, although we did our best. Last night we went to the Christmas Eve service at our church and had a good time. Up early today to share presents; right now we're cooking up a storm with custards in the over and a fresh ham going on the grill soon. We are excited to have Kevin and Heather here and will have a family dinner tonight.
Daddy is back in the hospital in CCU. His colon is in a lot of trouble so they are treating him with antibiotics and hoping to get him well enough to get back to Crystal Bluffs. He's been through a lot but continues to fight to get better.
Peace on earth goodwill to men on whom his favor rests

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
