I read Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End because it was a book club pick. I would never ever have read this one on my own. I just felt it was too morbid. I don’t like nonfiction often and will rarely choose to read it. So I resisted this one. But I read it. And I am so glad I did. It was a powerful, thought-provoking book that was incredibly worthwhile. I’m told Gawande’s other books are wonderful too so maybe this is the sign I need to pick one up. Here’s girl sixteen. This one was tough. I almost didn’t even want to try.

When we have a few days off school, we often sneak away to a local town just to get some rest as a family. We are grateful to live so close to so many beach towns. While we’ve visited almost every one of the towns up and down the Pacific Coast Highway, Pismo Beach is likely at the top of our favorites list. We love that it’s always Southern California weather. It’s right by the beach and it can be a bit grimy. Too prim and proper is not for us. On this particular vacation, the kids spent most of their time building things out of sand, so Jake and I wanted to setup our little beach tent so we could be in the shade. What we didn’t know was that this tent requires multiple PhD’s to setup. I only wish I were joking. After two hours, much yelling and even more yelling, we finally were able to put it together. And it was lovely once we did. But I don’t think we will ever be able to go to the beach again because I don’t think we could ever repeat it.
I hope someone can make a beach tent that doesn’t require an advanced degree to setup. Stories from 2016 is a year-long project for 2016. You can read more about my projects for 2016 here. Here’s girl fourteen. Not a big fan of this one.

I read Never Let Me Go because I knew I would love another Ishiguro and I was not disappointed. I have now read a literary fiction, a fantasy and a scifi from this author and every single one of them has been amazing. How is it possible for an author to seamlessly write so well across genres? It blows my mind. If you haven’t read any Ishiguro, I’d still start with Remains of the Day but if you like scifi, this is your book. It’s sad, beautiful and just exquisite writing. Here’s girl eleven. I did this while at Yosemite. Far from perfect but here we are.
