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.
