The Two Tired Teachers visited Bonham State Park in the summer of 2018. We arrive midweek and had our choice of campsites. By the weekend, all of the 14 RV sites were taken.
This small park has a day use area, a fishing pier, and a large swimming area. The day use area comes with a sand volleyball court. Kayaks and paddleboats are rented at the park.
Many of the trails are used by mountain bikes. The trails vary greatly in their terrain. Some are quite level while others have lots of roots and hills.
Bonham Lake is not part of the state park, but it is another option in Bonham. We give a shout out to Peggy for letting us know about this campground.
Also in Bonham is Sam Rayburn's home. Also in Bonham are the Sam Rayburn Library and the Sam Rayburn Museum.
Next door to the Sam Rayburn Library is Fort English. All of the buildings are open. They are primitive and they might provide some family fun.
Bonham State Park is well shaded and have very well defined campsites. The group area does have cabins.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Samuel Taliaferro Rayburn (January 6, 1882 – November 16, 1961) was an American politician who served as the 43rd Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. He represented Texas's 4th congressional district as a Democrat from 1913 to 1961. He holds the record for the longest tenure as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, serving for over 17 years (between three separate stints).
Born in Roane County, Tennessee, Rayburn moved with his family to Windom, Texas in 1887. After a period as a school teacher, Rayburn won election to the Texas House of Representatives and graduated from the University of Texas School of Law. He won election to the United States House of Representatives in 1912 and continually won re-election until his death in 1961. Rayburn was a protege of John Nance Garner and a mentor to Lyndon B. Johnson.
Rayburn was elected House Majority Leader in 1937 and was elevated to the position of Speaker of the House after the death of William B. Bankhead. He led the House Democrats from 1940 to 1961, and served as Speaker of the House from 1940 to 1947, 1949 to 1953, and 1955 to 1961. He also served as House Minority Leader from 1947 to 1949 and from 1953 to 1955. Rayburn preferred to work quietly in the background and allowed committee chairmen to retain much of the power in the House. He refused to sign the Southern Manifesto and was influential in the construction of U.S. Route 66. He served as Speaker until his death in 1961, and was succeeded by John W. McCormack.
