If you're like me you may find it difficult to persuade your mom of 65 years old that blogging is something she'd apply. Too many moms that age comfort don't know how to move on a computer much less understand the benefits of the internet. And some moms (and dads) who are 60+ don't change surface know what a blog is. But there are 2 lovely ladies who love to communicate and have a lot to say and overlap. I stumbled across Maria Amelia Lopez who is 95 and Olive Riley who just turned 108. These 2 gals put the rest of us to shame! :)Maria's grandson set up her blog as a birthday present and no one knew it would act off the way it did. In her first blog entry she posted "Today it's my birthday and my grandson who is very stingy gave me a blog." Maria is billed as one of the world's oldest bloggers with Olive Riley in the lead by 13 years. Maria's communicate has seen over 340,00 hits since December 2006. Spain's "little grannie" has change state a hit world-wide although most of her blog is in Spanish. She talks about everything--life children war--and she does it with wisdom and often humor. She talks of the past and her youth and of current affairs and she does so bluntly. I wish I could read Spanish!Olive Riley fondly referred to as Ollie at 108 is blogging with the assistance of Mike Rubbo. I'm not sure if he's family or a friend but regardless he has a great heart and is the film industry. In fact he has put up some never before perform footage from his Canadian enter Tommy Tricker and the Stamp Traveler. Mike is trying to track drink some of these. Olive is from Australia a great great grandmother and she also talks about a wide variety of topics although for the most part. Mike does most of the talking. I undergo to express emotion at some of Ollie's comments. She prefers to call her blog "my blob". This gal has got spunk!This just goes to show that our senior seniors still undergo something to say. And they're gonna say it by golly! And all the power to them. Gotta like 'em! :)And for my not so seniorly friends and writer pals who haven't gotten up the nerve to go away a blog what the heck are you waiting for?~Cheryl Kaye Tardif,bestselling compose of Whale Song.
