Grandmother of “umpteen grandkids” Olive Riley is being called the World’s Oldest Blogger.  At 107, I’m inclined to accept this claim as truth. 

Born in Australia in 1899 (while it was still a British colony), Olive apparently has endless quantities of quaint and interesting stories, having lived through two world wars as well as the Great Depression.

Olive doesn’t know much about computers–a couple of younger friends transcribe her stories for the digital world, and she calls her blog a “blob”–but her fans number in the thousands.  She says she gets quite a kick out of the comments and responses people leave for her, and that she has made several new friends through the blogging experience.

Says Olive:

“It’s a bit of fun, although I do get a bit tired sometimes.”
