Olive Riley was the world's oldest blogger. The dear lady passed away last week at the age of 108.
She had written more than 70 entries on her blog, or as she referred to it 'blob'.
Including topics such as - raising her 3 children, living through 2 world wars and the Depression.
Wow, what an inspiration. I hope I'm still blogging at that age. I'd have to consider changing my name to Krazy Grey. I have enough trouble remembering what I did five minutes ago and can't imagine being able to remember and record what happened 80 years ago.
Reading about Olive, made me realise that my blog will still be here when I've left this world. I never considered this before. Kinda cool really, something for people to remember me by. I wonder what my future blog entries have in store for me...
