R.I.P. Olive Riley
The blogging world has lost an icon! Olive Riley, the world's oldest blogger, passed away on Saturday at the age of 108. Olive started blogging last February and she's posted over 70 entries since then. Olive blogged from her nursing home in New South Wales, Australia and wrote about her daily life along with what it was like going through two world wars.
Her final posts can be read here. Her final post was on June 26th and she talked about a bad cough. One of Olive's last YouTube videos was of her singing "Smile, Smile, Smile."
So long, Olive Riley! Rest in peace...

I'd like to share it with the hotties who also like sports I met at R I C H L O V I N G.C O M,where the hot affluent singles and sexy girls and models to hook up for Hot Love, Flirt and Sexy Dating!
I purposely didn't watch this vid earlier today because I knew it would make me weepy. She reminds me so much of my Gran. Except Gran would have told me I was getting fat and demanded another gin and tonic.
R.I.P. Olive (and Granny G.)

Old people are the best.
RIP Olive.
It's nice to see someone who lived life well until the end and continued to be curious and positive about new things.
I always enjoy spending time with old people. I have a neighbor I meet when I walk my dogs who is in her late 80s. She always has funny interesting stories to tell me, and is likes to hear about my life too.
Thanks for posting this, MK.
She called her blog a "blob", how cute. RIP

RIP sweetheart.
People wonder why I took on the 'burden' of taking care of my 93 year old neighbor. There are many times he makes me smile, like Olive did in this video. Older people are a wealth of wisdom, interesting history and yes, some laughs. Don't brush them aside and ignore them. You'd be surprised how they can make you feel.
R.I.P. Olive. You were a beautiful treasure.

I want her singing that song as my ringtone. Hotness.

RIP

Awww, that was the most adorable thing I've ever seen! I'm sure that video was able to make it up to those who watched the Jessucka Simpleton video earlier this morning. That woman was definitely more talented.

Geez, Banana shut your friggin' gob, okay?
Rest in peace sweet Olive.
