This Christmas, we had the pleasure of having Mom & Dad Riley visit us. And we, collectively, as their children, decided to present a check from the donation account to them at this time. We were able to raise a considerable amount to help them in some of their financial dealings, considering the loss of their home. They were so grateful and I would like to publicly express my appreciation to all those who so generously donated to their fund. Some even donated twice! You all are so kind to contribute to this cause & most of you do not even know them personally. We are all proud to have you as our friends & family members. We thank you graciously! Currently, Mom & Dad are still trying to settle things with the insurance company. It will be a long & hard process but they're staying positive. They're still looking to relocate to Utah but don't know when that will actually take place. At this time, they're living with Grandma Riley in California, while Dad is able to conduct some temporary business on the farm. We have left the donation fund open for anyone else considering donating to their cause. Thanks again to everyone, for your thoughts & prayers in their regard.(Jake's first snowman ~ Christmas Day)
Dad played a nasty little trick on Mom and had Dave pretend her present was for me (to ask her opinion). She said "Wow, Becky & I really have the same taste!". Then he had her wrap it for him. So she was a little puzzled when she received it on Christmas! Hee hee ;)
It was a success though! She loved it!
