Mom's Visit and Duane's Last Day at Userful!

Duane's last day at Userful was almost a week ago already! He was there a long three years, and is now able to do something he loves...photography...full time. As a side job, he's taken on school bus driving. Strange, eh? He's enjoying it so far, and has been there since Monday. Since his birthday was coming up, I decided to take him out for dinner so we could do something together...just the two of us. We're planning a BBQ dinner with friends tomorrow night, so I wanted to be able to give him his gift and spend time just with him...that doesn't happen very often anymore. I took him to Madison's Restaurant, and we quite enjoyed ourselves! Later, we went on a short walk with mom and grandpa, so that we could spend a short time with them before mom left again for Abbotsford at the end of her week here. It was nice to know that grandpa recognized me this time! It definitely fluctuates...sometimes, after it's been awhile since seeing him he won't remember who I am, which can be hard. It was also very nice to see that, when we dropped mom off after picking her up at the airport, he even remembered who she was! Mom was glad, since she was worried he wouldn't. Here are a couple pictures of our evening.
