Walking to the daffodils at Lauritzen Gardens.

Gabe Dresner, our dear nephew, is back in Nebraska and in our home. He turns 27 this Saturday. He shows me and slows me in new ways. In the stays he’s had at our home, we get into a sweet rhythm with him. He can find ways to laugh and smile which brightens our home.

My preparation for Rapid Prompting Method will see action next week when Gabe and I have a lesson together. He seems farther away then before, I see new actions and responses that make me curious. I hope RPM can help him communicate in a meaningful way meaning for him.

My farm concept for adults with DD came about with Gabe. Moving away from that to creating jobs for these marginalized and voiceless adults. Maybe finding a place for him to learn cheffing will be my next move.
