I forgot to mention that we visited Bob Gray last

Sunday.  He seems about the same as he was at

our last visit.  He demonstrated the elevator he has

built to get him from basement to main floor and

main floor to second floor.  It is really pretty 

niffty.  He has also modified the bathroom so he

can get on and off the toilet seat by himself and

take a shower by him self.  He is, obviously,

still very sharp mentally.  He, of course, had to

have helping hands in building the thing and

getting it installed, but he has it now.  And

every thing he has added he has been careful

to have it installed in such a way it can be 

removed with only a little putty and paint

to cover up what was there.  He has been

very careful not to do anything that would

cause modifications to the house later.

After we left Bob's, we went to Longmont

to the Dougherty Museum to see the old-

time farm equipment display.  I loved the

old-time kitchen equipment.  If people still

canned they would be happy to have those

appliances..apple peelers, pea schuckers,

and so forth.  I loved them and enjoyed 

them being worked at this late date.  By

the same token, the tractors didn't look so 

different, to me, from today's.
