My Grandfather's Son by Clarence Thomas
Clarence Thomas was raised by his grandfather, hence the title. His story of his rise from poverty to the Supreme Court is fascinating and inspiring. I was surprised by how much I liked it.
Preston England Mormon Temple
Erin, Lillian, and I went to the Preston England Temple of our church, the Latter-day Saint (LDS) or Mormon church. It is actually in nearby Chorley, in Lancashire, northwest England.The grounds are lovely and have a uniquely English garden feel among temples I've seen: Here is the temple exterior itself. I later found out it's the largest temple in Europe, measuring by inside floor space. Even the car park is fancy: Lillian explored the grounds and read a book while Erin and I attended temple services inside.On the walk back through town to the train station I saw this neat little house: Our route there was to take a bus from Pocklington to York, a train from York to Manchester Picadilly, and from there to Chorley. We walked around Manchester a bit and had a quick dinner there on the way back. It's a much more modern city than what we've grown accustomed to in Yorkshire. It was a nice day trip.
