Our trip to Connecticut.

[George McGovern]

We travelled to see my family and good friends. Wonderful overdue visitations.
Had a window seat on the first flight.

First stop my friend Ari's dome house, seen from his drone above us. He has the larger dome,
his mom the smaller.

Inside looking out.

Ari's mom and son.

Next we went to stay with great friends, bunked with them mostly and played Nerf Ping Pong.

We had a delightful visit with my 92-year-old aunt and her Sami.

A glimpse at her back yard.

My old friend took me for a ride in his 2003 Saab —

out and about with the top down.

Back home, this was today's sunrise.

And sunset. It is good to be back home.


P.S. Shadow and KC return tomorrow.

That fall eastern foliage can't be beat and those dome houses are amazing. I bet Shadow & KC will be happy to see their Mom and Dad!

It’s always so much fun to catch up with old friends.

It’s heartening to realize there are still a lot of good people in this world. You’ll have some good memories to cherish.

TY for sharing these, George!

13. Welcome back! Picked a great time to be with family and friends..beautiful autumn weather and foliage

I especially smiled at your friend’s Saab..I always wanted one and his looks showroom new. Beautiful sunrise and sunsets to settle you in from your visits.

[George McGovern]

14. Thank You Deuxcents! My buddy bought his convertible from a Saab mechanic who had owned and

maintained it since new. And promised parts for the life of the vehicle. Nice Car — handled twisty turning country backroads like a dream.

[Deuxcents]

17. I'll bet..my friends, at the time, couldn't understand my attraction to a Saab while they're driving Firebirds!

I’ll see one every once in a while but their demise was when GM got involved. Engineering and safety features were ahead of their domestic competition..your friend’s model is my favorite

perfect (including the majestitree).

[Callalily]

27. Sounds like a wonderful trip.

Fun times with friends and family.

I've always like dome homes. When they first were introduced, oh so many years ago, many banks wouldn't give loans. Strange.

[George McGovern]

33. Strange indeed Callalily. If a lender could see the advantages of such a structure they might think twice. Thanks!
