See my makeup table on it's side.  Poor baby.  I think they used to be called vanity tables.  Since I have nothing to be vain about I prefer makeup table.  I hated standing in a steamed up bathroom trying to put on makeup years ago.  Mom and dad gave it to us a long time ago along with a chest of drawers.  It belonged to someone in the family.  I regret I didn't grab the bed frame so the set would still be complete.  It hasn't been painted in about 25 years.  And yes, it was sad looking.   Please note my son Aaron in the background.  He showed up to visit and wished he could do something.  Well, mom and dad said here's the lawnmower, cut grass.  He hates my electric mower but he mowed the whole yard.  He helped his dad repair one of the gates. We are blessed with a great son and a great daughter.   It was an all around great day, fun, and some things got done. 

The boys burned them some steaks.  Even though I don't eat them they smelled so good.  I got some roasted veggies and leftover crab boil.  Yes, life is good.  Most of us are luckier than we know. 

My aloe vera bloomed.  I don't think I have ever seen this before. 

This is my guys getting the mirror to my makeup table ready to paint.  Like I said, it was a nice long happy day.  My guys stayed busy yet enjoyed each other.  Jody girl visited with all of us via telephone.  She is such a special person.

Look at the fig tree behind Aaron.  We cut it back yet it is so full

I cannot believe how big it has gotten.   I hate leaving it because I know the new owners will cut it down.  Most people just do not know what figs are.  My sis told me she doesn't like them because of how they feel in her mouth.  I have to agree about feel.  After the cancer and the the radiation I have issues of "feel".
