She rates mention because, well, she&#8217;s my mom. Also, because she&#8217;s <em><strong>95 years</strong></em><strong> old!</strong><em>  </em>But, in keeping with one of the main themes of this blog, <em>she still reads</em>. Her local library delivers large print books every month or so.</p>
<p>And finally, I think I&#8217;ve mentioned this before, but she instilled in me a love for books and reading. So, celebrating Mom in today&#8217;s blog post.</p>
