The Magic of Woodside

Going to Woodside is a most marvelous experience. Yes, there is magic there, but it’s so much more than that. It’s being welcomed by gracious hosts, surrounding you with unbounded love. We gathered there for the annual family Thanksgiving dinner.

I took a photo of the people at the table with me. Daughter Lise is there, along with friends from Denmark and niece Susan and Bill. Susan’s smile was sparkling, with conversation to match. Bill and Sander, both sports enthusiasts, enjoyed talking together. The rest of us also liked hearing various sports stories.

After dinner, Hunter sang and played the guitar for us. That is always a treat. Rick entertained us with all new magic tricks! Here Rick is starting a trick that involved Lise.

After that he took our guests on the standard tour of the house. I had taken videos of the singing and magic tricks, but I didn’t go on the house tour this time. Charlotte, Sander, and Magda said it was marvelous. I’m always pleased when Rick and Myra show the house that is so steeped in history.
