After Outer Banks

Uncategorized 1 Minute

The day after we got home from our trip to the Outer Banks, Lise and Magda went to Biltmore. I opted to stay home to catch up on a few things. I’m sure they took photos inside and out of the mansion and gardens, but I didn’t ask to see them. They did speak to the horses in the pasture. DW came over to get an apple. I failed to report to you that a new horse was added a week or so ago. Neighbor Joyce doesn’t know its name, so we call it Newbie. We can tell Newbie from Vixen by his star and longer socks.

Going to Woodside was the big event the day before Magda flew back to Denmark. Lise is always eager to take people there to experience the gracious Southern hospitality of Myra and Rick. They served us lunch, followed by an extensive tour of the house and grounds. I was very impressed with the gigantic display of wisteria blooms, and asked neice Kathie and Lise to pose with them.

I took one photo of Rick and Magda as he told about the pirate that had stayed in the house long ago.

The best photo of the day was Magda’s – the side of the house with the shoe that was made for my late sister-in-law when she was a child.

    1. I’m sure there were many hugs in and around that shoe. Daughter Lise told me that her cousin received a proposal of marriage at the shoe. It was a wonderful marriage. A thousand hugs to you!

    1. There are a few things inside the shoe. It has been a few years since I looked, but I think there is a stove and maybe a table. There are probably some smaller things in there, too.

    1. We are having yo-yo weather. It can be freezing one day and as hot as summer the next. For our trip to the Outer Banks, we had sweaters and winter coats. Soon it will settle down to be warm.

  10. The perfect end to a perfect vacation! I suppose the shoe house is such a fun thing for all of us to see because we’ve only ever seen one in the nursery rhyme books. And here you have one near you! Absolutely delightful!

  11. Gorgeous horse and wisteria bush! And that shoe, wow, I wonder if there are building plans for that somewhere. Actually, I just looked it up and there’s a bunch of interesting shoe houses out there. 🙂
