Why am I showing you a picture of this dead plant? Because this dead plant belonged to Nana. It was one of the plants that she had me water when I would go over to her house. When she died, I took it. I replanted it after I brought it home and it flourished. I had it sitting on top of one of my kitchen cupboards. I was really diligent with my watering schedule and I made sure I watered it every week. I don't know what happened the last little while, I just sort of forgot. I'm sure Nana would be very disappointed in me. Shhh. Don't tell her :)
I think there is something else that she might be disappointed in and that is me not keeping up the family blog. I guess I sort of appointed myself the family link...trying to keep us all together. I am feeling like this blog looks a little like the plant above, kind of dead. So, I'm here to redeem myself, and I'm hoping you can help me. As the holidays approach, and families gather, lets try to document our gatherings and goings on. We all love to know how you are doing.
So let's try and get our family blog to look like this other plant of Nana & Poppop's:
Flourishing, active and happy. (I'll try hard not to kill this one either :)
Who is with me?

Because I'm not on face book and do not have a blog - I for one am happy to see the family newsblog - resurrected!!
Thanks for making it happen Vanessa.
Regarding the dying plants - I heard
from a good source that using our
beloved tap water is what kills our
house plants - because of the chlorine. So I am now using bottled water on my two house plants.
Ask Jolynn - she is the queen of keeping things growing and green!!! Good luck.
I remember that plant container that you have on the floor. Beautiful colors/design.

I notice there's only one picture of me and a hundred pics of everybody else. I was at the recent Nielsen Reunion but my pic somehow didn't get in here....yes i'm picky about this and no i'm not camera shy....What is going on?? So, how can i upload more pics of ME!?
It's a great idea! I will try harder to keep the family updated! I have 4 african violets from Nana's house. I would be willing to share if you're up for another try..... I must confess I have not kept mine very happy either, but I am willing to take better care and see if I can get them to bloom again!
Also, we need to start talking about a James/Margaret Family Reunion this summer. At one point we thought about San Diego. Thanks again Vanessa for being the go-getter! Love ya!
