The "State Fair of Texas" came and went without a hitch this year. We are glad for that because in recent years, you have seen disasters happen to mar the occasion for "Fair" goers. The last year has shown us what can be done when this type of thing happens. "Big Tex" burning and being rebuilt has been one to take us aside and show us that tradition is special to many people. At least he's back and no one got hurt from the disaster. Other times, there were accidents which cause injuries and death to some of the people enjoying the amusement rides. Tragic as it was, the Fair managed to get on past these times and survive the trauma. I haven't been to the Fair recently and it seems as I get older the walking of the vast area gets even me down and tires me out. I noticed that the exhibits aren't as exciting as they once were and maybe that's the part that keeps me from going. My age is taking the fun out of the partaking in vast games, exhibits and exotic foods. Now, that the time has come and gone for the year, we look toward the coming holiday's and hope for much needed family times together.

Cold Front
Once again the "Texas State Fair", has met with "Mother Natures" wrath. The cool fronts back to back hit with plenty of rain and temps that are at least 20* degrees cooler than last month. We have had some great rain, which came in nice showers and not horrible storms. It's going to help our area lakes with much needed run off and ease some of the drought situation. Still it won't bring the lakes up to par, since they have become so terribly low.

TX vs OU
I still can't believe what I saw with my own eyes. "TEXAS" finally beat OU and what a game it was. I gave my daughter grief while the game was playing. You see, she was born in Ardmore, OK and is the only Okie in the family. She's been know to really give me some guff when OU would beat out Texas University. So, it was my turn, and she got quiet after awhile.........lol.

TX vs OU
Texas and Oklahoma first met on the gridiron in 1900 with the Longhorns registering a 28-2 victory. As you know this weekend the two rivals meet at the "Cotton Bowl" once again. "Hook um Horns"!
Found this picture on Facebook, hope they don't mind if I use it...........Lowes got a plug.......!

Cool
Aaah, I actually had to put a jacket on yesterday. The cold front came through our area, with rain and cooler temps. I was sitting here at the computer working and noticed the wind was up and things were starting to cool down. Within 30 minutes of that time, it was getting chilly. Well, you people here in the North Texas areas know the rest. So, last night it was time to consider putting that extra blanket on the bed. What a difference a day makes, especially here in Texas!
