We're going to try to get some emails out this week to start promoting Race 4 Grace and our 2011 RAGBRAI ventures. Like always, we hope to get previous riders back and find some new riders. We haven't decided yet on some of the logistics of the week. We have traditionally started RAce 4 Grace on Sunday (the first day of RAGBRAI), and if we do that again we'll be starting in Glenwood. We are considering starting later in the week because we've got connections in some of the other overnight towns. Michelle has most of her family in the Carroll area, which is the overnight town on Monday night. And we know people around Boone and Altoona, which are the overnight towns on Tuesday and Wednesday. We'll see.
Otherwise things are good with Grace. We've been busy this weekend making a leprechaun trap, which is an assignment they have for school this weel. As usual Grace has thrown herself fully into this assignment (hopefully she'll keep that mentality when she's doing Algebra and Chemistry homework down the line).
We had to get a new part for her Dani because she'd gotten too tall for the original part, so we've been without her Dani for a couple weeks. You don't realize how much you rely on mobility until you don't have it! Thankfully we were able to get it put back together yesterday, and she's back in full motion with her Dani. The problem when we don't have her Dani is that we keep her wheelchair at school, which means she often doesn't have any way to get around in the house.
