Hey all! I received an african violet as a gift. It is a pretty mature plant that used to be in my grandmother's house, then my mothers and now *sigh* in mine. I am pretty novice when it comes to plants. I have managed to keep a few plants and herbs alive in my kitchen window but I am learning as I go. Rather than get generic info off the web, I know there are many very knowledgeable people on here I hope can help me with real experiences, tips and tricks. How much sun do they need? How often should I water and do I need to feed it special plant food? There are no blooms on it and I do not remember seeing any in some time. Anything I can do to get it to bloom again? Thank you for your help in advance I REALLY don't want to be the one to kill Grandmom's plant lol

Hubby and most of his family are from Sabula. I even got married in Sabula My MIL, one of the most amazing women I never had the honor to meet rests in peace in Sabula. To the OP, my husband is pretty familiar with the area and may be able to tell you something about your place. PM me if you want

We make those often in our house. The kids love them. I have a recipe book at home that has all the different recipes you can do with a cake mix. Very yummy! I found this one online: CAKE MIX COOKIES 1 pkg. dry cake mix 1/2 c. butter, softened 1 tsp. vanilla 2 eggs Mix all ingredients. Drop by teaspoonful on ungreased cookie sheet 2-inches apart. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute, then remove to wire rack. NOTE: If using yellow cake mix, decrease butter to 1/3 cup. Yield 3 dozen cookies.
