Nice Gift From Butt Lite VIII
A few weeks back Grace was asked to help with a big competitive motorcycle endurance rally that had a mandatory checkpoint in Reno USA. Pics and such
Fast forward …..an unexpected package arrives from Lisa E and it was an honorary rally flag to show appreciation for the hard work. Grace helped at the checkpoint (up until 2am at night and then back up at 5am!) and then went out to Gerlach to assist some more!
Big thanks to Lisa E and the Butt Lite crew for the nice gift. BTW Grace took it to school as part of her story of the things she did over summer vacation. Oh and if you don’t know what “Butt Lite” means, ….well if you have to ask you don’t need to know.
