NDSS is saddened to learn of the death of Lois Curtis. Lois was “L.C.” in Olmstead vs. L.C., the landmark Supreme Court case commonly referred to as the “Olmstead decision.” The #OlmsteadDecision was a watershed moment in disability rights history... (1/3)

Thank you @ctgeneticcouns for inviting @MyDSACT to participate in your first annual conference! We had a wonderful time sharing information and resources with Genetic Counselors and students! 💙💛

Thank you @NewBritainBees for letting @AlijahsChariots throw out the first pitch at tonight’s game and for your support of #DSACT! #GoBees

Said goodbye to @berta1027’s trusty jogging stroller today. Served us well over so many miles in Walden Woods, at Zorinsky, in many national parks, etc. Thanks for all the great memories! #TimeFlies

.@berta1027 being a great AlijahsChariots with the State government! #BigTime ABLE accounts can help people with disabilities create a secure future. Connecticut finally created one. https://t.co/fnOdyOF3eC

@CrossingGard I do have proof that he did hold that little turtle after he was born! 💕🐢

@CrossingGard Post-race food has always been the draw for him...even when it’s not his race! #chocolatemilk

@CrossingGard @byclintedwards She eats breakfast at 7:50 AM and is onto 2nd breakfast by 8:20 AM. Then a snack at 10 AM. I’m not sure what she is going to do in the fall...🍁🍂 ✏️ 📚

@CrossingGard I think it’s time to take that picture down...🤬😱🤦🏻‍♀️

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

@chadpekron @CrossingGard Awesome! This means so much! 💙💛💙

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

@CrossingGard Your hashtag is interesting...🍀🍀🍀

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

@CrossingGard @byclintedwards Speak for yourself! I know from that point on I’m not going back to sleep. 😜

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

I think you’ve just ruined my day @CrossingGard.

[Alan Gard @CrossingGard]

I think seeing the swings empty is probably the saddest memory. That was G’s favorite spot and a favorite for the friends next door too.

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

Finally official. Was a great home for @berta1027 and me for 8 years. Hope the next family loves it as much as we did. #Memories

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

Interesting, but makes me sad.

Some interesting symmetry: On day I flew to
#Omaha to start my residence there, @PhilMickelson won #TheMasters. On day I flew to Omaha to empty my house and end my residence there, Phil won #TheMatch. Not sure if there is a metaphor in that.

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

@CrossingGard Yes...she’s a smart cat.

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

@CrossingGard @evilbmcats No. She saw an opportunity to spend the morning alone with nature and the quiet rather than be carried around like a doll being forced to wear sunglasses or a tiara!

[Alan Gard @CrossingGard]

Love how @USPSHelp left an envelope in the grass rather than in my mailbox in a monsoon. Oh, and it happens to be my car title. Kinda an important document to have to dry to salvage. Yes, let’s give the government an even bigger role in our lives.

[Beth Gard @ba_gard1]

@lexscottmo @CrossingGard Thanks! 💙

[Alan Gard @CrossingGard]

Cool to see all these people (and their phones) focused on the ⁦@NDSS⁩ Times Square video starring people with #Downsyndrome.
