Today I left about noon for Haskell to help with Dad. There are so few ways to break this trip up, but I settled on going by the house Avis and Harry are buying in Comanche to see it from the outside first hand. I knew it was close to some other friends of all ours so it wasn't hard to find--and it is beautiful. Sits on 8 acres of pretty land with majestic oaks, a tank and from what I could see of the outside of the house, it is really nice. They aren't closing on it until January at the request of the owners who want one more Christmas in the house. I'm so proud for them but don't like the idea that at some point they will be moving so far from us compared to where they are now. After driving by it, instead of driving back to town and hitting my highway, I continued down the little FM road to see what would happen. I ended up going through a little town called Beattie and did get back to HWY 36.

Right before I got to Rising Start, I ran into quite a little thunderstorm with heavy rain, but it was moving quickly and so was I in the opposite direction so it didn't last long. The skies were so pretty while that cloud was moving through! Added some interest to my drive as well as the Audible book I was listening to and finished just as I drove into Haskell.
