Dear Ollie,
I have been looking at your ‘blob’ for about 6
months. I enjoy it so much. I live in Florida,
U.S.A and Iam 77 years old and still working as
a cashier in a supermarket.
I loved your singing you harmonize very well.
Thank you Mike and Chris for bringing Ollie to us
she is certainly an inspriration
Sincerly
Jeri

Dear Olive,

You look so lovely in that green hat and I enjoyed hearing you singing! Just keep singing and dancing and stay forever young!

God bless you!

Love, Birdie

Haven’t been able to get over here for awhile. Glad to see Ollie is still going strong. I just spoke for a few minutes to a goodly number of older computer users and told them about your blog, Ollie, and that Mike helps you. Only two of those people had blogs. Remains to be seen if any of the others will explore blogs or blogging. They all seem to be busy doing other things on the computer. Haven’t had any opportunity to show your video again. Maybe you would like me to forward it to someone else who has a group to whom they can show it?

Glad to get a link to Maria and that you and she are in contact now. Really like your video, as usual, Ollie. Mike, your photos are spectacular — I’m ready to leave for New Zeland (don’t I wish.) You have enough pictures here to last me for a month!

Keep blogging!

Good day to you all. What a treat to read Maria Amelia’s letter and to hear Olive sing. But to see Olive get up and dance just tops it all. Miss Ollie, you’ve just melted the last snow over here!
Thank you.

Howdy Olive and Mike!

I’m not sure if Maria knows that people in Australia pronounce the double L’s in words like ‘torilla’. Going for ‘Tor Till ah” instead of ‘Tor tea ah”. You and she might get a good laugh at the Australization of spanish words.

Hasta luego!

I keep hearing of elderly bloggers more and more. One day I was hearing of a story of a blogger who is in her 90 and manged to live though the holcust (sorry about the spelling) she watch her parents being drug off.
She doesn’t know what blogger stand for and I do either.
The only thing I know her name is fridia and I believe she lives in USA or Canada she married a solider from Canada.

How wonderful that technology lets you two ladies living on opposite ends of the world talk to each other and see “live” who you are talking to. That was a lovely message from Maria Amelia, and I agree with her that you look so good at 108. From Lynne at Bulli.

Hi Olive and Mike ~~ What a delightful message from
Maria Amelia and so full of praise for you Olive.
You do look great ans so alert for your age and bring us so much joy with your videos (thanks Mike, you do well) and stories from your life. I am sorry Maria does not expect to reach 100, but she might
still make it to that. Take great care dear Olive, and glad you enjoyed your trip to New Zealand Mike.
Love and best wishes to you both, Merle.
