Hi Cherry, I'm the 1 that didn't know what to do, I'm the 8th comment I think on your blog, that's why I didn't sign up before, I'm really computer illiterate. I said you looked 39 which you do!! I signed it & then added on after that so I guess I should have chosen the 1st 1??? Bed time ,DS called & said he sure left at wrong time 83 degrees out here & it is 30 below with wind chill there so miserable. Hope weather gets better up that way as he has to make 30 trips to Rapid City hauling stuff for next bridge they have to put up! Not good time to be on road so much!! Jan

If your African violets take too much of your time, then you are giving them way too much attention. Honestly, I barely acknowledge mine and they are gorgeous year round. I think too many people want African violets to seem like they need special care. They don't. I have dropped, crushed, over-watered, under-watered, drenched in hot sunlight, left in the dark, and failed to re-pot my African violets for years at a time. They still reward me with blooms whether or not I deserve it. I have heat intolerance from multiple sclerosis, so I keep my apartment cool (most would say COLD) year round. I drop everything, including the African violets. I might take the dust off their leaves once a year. In the winter I hardly ever turn on the heat, so it's normally at 45-55 degrees; I tell people I keep it warm enough in the winter so the African violets don't freeze. In the summer the temperature cannot go higher than 70 degrees or lose my right leg, right hand and most of my cognitive abilities; at times the air conditioner has the apartment down to 60 degrees all day. I don't provide them with any special lighting. I water them when I am physically able to lift the jug. I always add food to the water, because with my short-term memory loss can never worry about a feeding schedule. I have mine in pots with holes in the bottom sitting on top of a tray of aquarium stones. If the stones look dry, I water the stones. My African violets LOVE living here! They have healthy foliage and gorgeous flowers. In the wild, no one fusses over them. They get gnawed on and stepped on. African violets acclimate very well to many different conditions. They survived before people came along to take care of them. It's a shame to get rid of plants you have cared for. Just stick them somewhere and forget about them. If they look like they are wilted, water them.

Wendy, Thank you so much for your box. I recieved it as I was walking out the door heading for my long drive to DC. I hurried and opened it and wrote a note to Jason with directions for the plants. The plants looked great and I love everything else that you sent :) Wendy sent me 4 plants, one that I know is sedum, and maybe a vine looking plant, and the other two I am not sure of. - pot hanger decorations, I do not know the 'real' name of what they are. But they are really cute and will look good on some of the pots that I painted :) -lighthouse statues -little stand with a flag -scrapbooking paper -butterfly windchime... that was my favorite!! If I forgot anything, please remind me! Again, I was on my way out the door, and I am writing from memory. Thank you so much Wendy, I loved your gifts!

For clothing we try to put one item away for donations per every new item bought. I usually give my nicer clothes to a divorced gal with kids down the road. She isnÃ¢ÂÂt exactly poor but there is not much money left for her after bills and kids. SheÃ¢ÂÂs great because she takes only what is needed and passes the rest on to others in need or makes a donation to her church. The gal usually leaves a note in my mail box stating where the rest went and a thank you. Due to my casual lifestyle my dressy clothes have little wear but do not wear well on my changing figure. I donÃ¢ÂÂt want to keep them so long as to become outdated and where they are of no use to someone else. My husband donates his clothing to a few different charities or a particular individual. Sometimes we do a drop off at goodwill. A few times I left a big bundle out near the road with a sign that says Ã¢ÂÂtake meÃ¢ÂÂ. I do this on a day when there are several Guatemalan lawn maintenance people next door. There are always a few items I have a hard time letting go of thoughÃ¢ÂÂ¦ but I must as I am moving. I will never sell clothes in a garage sale again; last time (several years ago) I was ripped off with a do you have a bag trick. I will give but you canÃ¢ÂÂt take!

Thanks Ya'll!
Ya'll don't be shy, just enter on the post about the give away:D You may have to create a free google account to do that!

Ya'll, it's even cold here in the South!In the low 20s at night, with 12-17 wind chill. If you've ever been in the humid South when it gets cold, you know it's painfully cold. My grandson is sick AGAIN. Bronchitis...AGAIN. He's now taken another round of antibiotics, and they've prescribed liquid Lortab, I didn't even know it came in a liquid form. That's for the pain he has trying to breathe, it hurts his little chest so bad, and his little baby lips turn purple. He was delirious and had 103 temp, but they didn't keep him long at the hospital this time. The school keeps a breathing machine up there, so all we had to do was bring his own mask and prescription, and he has to have breathing treatments 4 times a day for the next 90 days....right about the time Spring gets here,huh? and all the pollen! Everything covered in yellow sludge.

hi Jan, I don't know about his tonsils, the doctor didn't mention, but I think he still has to get used to living down south( he spent a few years in Washington state). and there's nothing but trees, pollen, fungus...you name it, on almost 90 acres of nothing but trees.

I took a sneak peek photo of part of the give away. There's still time to enter, ya'll!
