Sunday October 21st 1979
Left for Cincinnati about 10:30. Warm, partly sunny day but the wind last 2 days has blown most of the leaves off- only had two days of good color. David was raking leaves when I arrived and Josh and Sarah were buried in them. The playhouse, with cement floor and brick construction with an L- wood framed windows and plastered and painted walls, is adorable. Sarah so proud of it and her daddy who did it is too.
After brunch we took a ride up the Ohio River to New Richmond. Had time for sandwiches before going to “Oliver!” David finally realized ambition to play in the pit orchestra that he had had since 1962 when we saw it on Broadway. He also hosted his employees and we went to LaRosa’s for pizza after. Had Reno slides and their movies when we got home.
Made recording of David playing Bach on the player piano he has restored. Has harpsichord attachment. Bed at 1:30 AM on living room sofa.
