Actually, it is a completely different house but the dimensions of the garage and driveway seem to be exactly the same. I must have subconsciously wanted to duplicate my Connecticut family home from the 1960's.

With 7 people in the family we had a fleet of Country Squires back in the 1960s. They'd all last about 2 years. Dad went to a Plymouth Satellite Suburban in 1972. It was Rallye Red with a black racing stripe - the same color as the Charger. Boy was that wagon a lemon. It was just as reliable as the Griswold's Wagon Queen Family Truckster. After that debacle, Dad bought Chevy Suburbans til the 1990's.

Here's a typical family vacation circa 1970. Note the conestoga wagon tarp covering the 2 years of supplies we needed for the 3-day weekend.



Gee, we all looked so happy. I just loved having to wear a cardigan in August.
