Hi Mike and Olive! I took about a year off from my own blogging, mostly due to health and work issues…but I’m back at it…and slowly catching up on your blog as well.

Sorry that you’re having troubles keeping this updated, Mike…but I appreciate your efforts and enjoy reading your stories told by Olive.

Funny timing for your post: since my health has improved, I am training for The 3-Day Breast Cancer walk. They have several of these scheduled, and I will be doing the one in Phoenix in November. Right now I’m walking 3-4 miles about 4x a week and doing some cross-training to work up to my eventual goal of finishing the 3-Day, which will be 60 mi/96 km over the three days. I’m almost done with week 2…what an experience it is!

Anyhow, I have to get back to work. Thank you again for your blog, and God bless you and yours.

Bubba

Hi guys! I’m a new reader to the blog. I’m a 22 yr old (almost 23) professional in Southern California. I’m so glad I found this blog, how enchanting. I can’t wait to read more! Ollie rocks!

You both are a great inspiration. We need more trails, but mothers/fathers need to get their kids to apperciate nature more! It was given to us for a reason

I need to lose weight and walk more. I think people who can need to stop taking it for granted (like me :P) and be happy and apperciative they still can walk!

Take care of yourselves!!!

Dear Olive,
I reqd about you in “Courrier International”, a French weekly magazine I borrow from the Lille city library, and spoke about your blog to my adult English class today, encouraging them to read you.
Best wishes to you and Mike for the amazing text and illustrations. You are an example to us all. Keep well and carry on regardless.
Yours,
Peter Denimal

Hi Ollie!
I hope you are doing well. Maybe Eric is able to handle the comments while Mike’s gone. It is hard for me to remember that it’s fall there for you since we are fast approaching summer. We have a holiday here on Sunday: Mother’s Day. So, Happy Mother’s Day to you!

Hey Ollie

The stewed plums sound great! We have a plum tree at our house along with an apple and pear tree, and every summer, when it bears fruit our neighbour down the street would come and pick the plums (as we can’t eat so many) and make all sorts of food with it. She makes really good plum sauce!

Once we told her that we hadn’t tried plum sauce before and she made us a bottle, and boy it was good! Especially with ice cream!

Did you have a good ANZAC Day?
I attended 2 services here in Christchurch, the Dawn Service and the Citizens’ Service.

Enjoyed your videos, Ollie & Mike and the art picture of Ollie. I’ve been hit and miss with exercising — use 5 lb. barbells for upper body strength, some stretching exercises, then spent a bit of time on a stationary bike. Have decided there could be medical issues with that bike seat, so think I want to change to one of those bikes that sits close to the floor and allows my legs to be out in front of me. They have a bucket seat (for my “bucket”) that exercises the legs better.

Glad to hear you do some walking every day, Ollie. I should do more of it.
