FAMILY!

Let's be grateful for those who give us happiness;
they are charming gardeners that make our soul bloom! ~Marcel Proust

Riseley Pier

Our beloved Riseley Pier is slowly but surely being torn down. It has not been in business for many years now but it has continued to lend us its shade on hot summer days, the visual representation of its structure to remember the many memories and the ability to say "I'm walking to the pier and back!." Many generations have fond memories of this pier. A few of these memories include staying in its cabanas, listening to music, fishing for fish, grabbing a hotdog and a snack before you walk back to the Staff Beach and remembering to follow the rule of "No swimming or surfing within 500 feet!" My parents even named their Jack Russell Riseley! Our family calls Riseley Pier..."Our Pier!" Others may disagree but WE can say we will always have a piece of Riseley Pier with us FOREVER!!

In Honor of "OUR" Riseley Pier!! We will miss you dearly!!







You didn't think we were going to let them tear it down and not get a piece of it did you? Nope...Nana worked her magic and we got the oceanside sign of "RISELEY PIER!!" Remember...we said it was "Our Pier!"
