Message to my Canadian Readers....
Mike is looking for the kids doing kids’ movies in Canada in the late eighties with Rock Demers.
The kids who tried out for the movies are all grown up now. Mike is trying to find them, and give them a copy of their audition from long ago.
Mike's friend, Lois Siegel, who helped at the time, is standing by in Ottawa, ready to help.
You can see the photos at The Life of Riley......so pop over there and see if you can help out with the search....
and wish Olive a Happy Birthday......

Wow, that is soo cool, there is hope for my Gram. I wonder how Olive got into blogging? Are there any interviews with her anywhere/
Happy Birthday, dear Olive! Wish I could sing as well as you do!
Truly wonderful she is!!! Happy Birthday x millions to Olive. Still so beautiful and smiling :-)
We have a lot to learn from her!
...though I'm not really sure that I would want to be 108 years....
Olive, an incredible lady with incredible resiliency! Happy birthday Olive!
Woow Kim - this is great and a good example of that blogging is not a matter of age but spirit! Thanks for letting the world know - I'll be right over of course.
While I'm at it: Wishing you a great end to your week. Welcome over if you like to get into a romantic mood :-)

So cool to see someone at 108 years old to be puter savvy and blogging :-)
Some of my friends in their 40's barely know how to use a computer. Boy, will I be able to shame them into it now ;-)
great birthday wishes Deborah...I'm sure you could help Olive and Mike find those kids too...

Hi
Thanks for leaving a comment in my post What to do with comment spams and for your kind words. I have responded to your comment.
You mentioned something about an award. That would be nice as I have grown to love awards, but I don't see any award anywhere? I did see link's to Chuck's "Real Blogger Status" and Amanda's "Blogger Buster" though.
Anyway, thanks for the thought.
BTW there is something wrong with your main web ?????. I see only something at the left and the rest of the page is blank.
Peter (Blog*Star)
What a grateful blogger did for me
BTW that is an Australian male nurse (another Peter by coincidence). However, I am not suggesting you do the same thing as I am not doing things just for awards and gratitude. If they come, I am happy. If not, I am still happy.
thanks for stopping by Peter...
I'm sorry ..I wasn't very specific....I have left a comment at your site..... :)
wow 108! whew I just had a bday too happy bday to Olive!
hb~
hi Christina
belated birthday wishes to you ...
I'm sure it was a blast !!!
thanks for popping in to leave your birthday wishes for Olive :)
have a great weekend....
Still blogging at that age is something to be admired! Wonder where we will be at that age! Hopefully our eyes are still strong enough to see the screen. Wait, am I still around at that age ??? :)
I wonder too Fruity...:D
thanks for stopping by and btw ...you have an award to collect at
