We shall look to our elders and Olive Riley

Now this is a weblog: The Life of Riley

We look to the life of Olive Riley, who passed away over the weekend at 109, having taken up blogging about two years earlier.

The New Zealand Herald's article described Olive Riley as "a great-great-grandmother with an international following."

Her blog, The Life of Riley, reveals a dynamic woman of great intelligence and verve. “Ollie,” as her friends called her, also left us YouTube videos to enlighten our young minds. Boomers? Olive lights the way.

Thank you, Olive. We will miss you.

“Olive returns to Broken Hill.”
