Favorite Time of Year

October has become one of my favorite times of the year. The temperatures are more pleasant than they were in August and early September. The State Fair of Texas typically operates from late September through mid-late October and that has been a tradition for our family. I often go camping with Scouts or friends in October. My wife’s birthday is in October. We start to prepare for our annual party we call Tamale Fest. 2020 has impacted our traditions and activities this year. But, life moves on and is good in so many ways that some disappointment cannot impact. Here are some memories from a past State Fair and a camping trip to Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas Panhandle.
