While she struggles to make it to midnight on New Year's Eve, while she's starting to hear more eulogies than symphonies, while she'll forever be disheartened by what she weighs (and forever unable to stop weighing herself), there is plenty to cherish at ninety: hanging out with the people she loves. Playing a relentless game of Scrabble. And still sleeping tush-to-tush with the same man to whom she's been married for sixty years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAccompanied by Laura Gibson's whimsical illustrations, \u003ci\u003eNearing Ninety's \u003c\/i\u003eamusing and touching reflections make this collection relatable to readers of all ages.
