Karl Nickel here for about 2 hours and laid four courses of brick on the patio he had laid about 10 courses Monday. It’s redder than it looked when I saw the sample.
Mowed for about 3 and 1/2 hours. Trimmed first and then used the riding mower. Mowed paths through the woods and along the pond. Lots of limbs down but no debris from July 2nd flood

Martha Neville brought me a bag of Cortland apples. Made apple dumplings and invited Mary out for supper.

Left Cincinnati at 7:00. Along freeway realized my gas gauge was at empty. Had to drive 15 miles to an exit with gas stations. when I took off the gas cap the air whooshed into the empty tank! 90.9 cents per gallon.

Meeting with Tom Kuhn on regional meeting handbook. He took my suggestions well. Meeting at 10:00 of executive committee to discuss formalizing the relationship between Ohio Historical Society and OAHSM. Chris will summarize our discussion for our perusal.

Back to Marion about 5:00 grocery shopped, picked up slides at Kmart and gassed up the car 79.9 per gallon.

David had to go to Magna-Feet in downtown Cincinnati to a client to work and took Sarah, Susannah and me along. Sarah loved looking at the high fashion shoes even though she couldn’t wear them. I worked on revisions to the revised regular meeting handbook that Tom Kuhn had reduced from 28 pages to eight pages.

Back home David to painting the outside of the house. The light gray is really pretty. I worry about the highest corner where he still has to install the siding. Harvey Meister over and they both worked on table saw- it binds. Birthday supper for Jed and Susannah. Then I showed David the Air Force Academy pictures of Kristi. Sue got the one Kathi sent her.

To the Ohio Historical Center for member’s day- not many OAHSM people there. I was the only board member! Enjoyed the evolution of Main Street by historic preservation office. Roger Kennedy, director of American Museum of History part of Smithsonian gave a slide talk that was a college education in the evolution of American architecture. left at 4:15 for cincinnati. David had already left for band job on a Riverboat when I Got there. Loaded all the kids and Karen in my wagon to take Darren Schmidt to his hilltop home in Fort Wright, Kentucky. Karen’s high school and college classmates. $250,000 house easily. Jed ran his radio controlled boat in their pool.
