Working

I have actually been working for the Census, finally. I was involved in the count of the homeless earlier this week and am enumerating Group Quarters—places like group homes, detention centers, nursing homes. The more I learn about the Census the more interesting it is to me. I am very impressed with how much care and attention is devoted to privacy and confidentiality of the information that is gathered. It is not shared with any other governmental agency or the media, and is kept confidential for 72 years. I was required to take an oath of confidentiality, so you won't be reading any interesting stories about what I see or learn about any respondents!

Today, besides being April Fools Day, is Census Day, so Happy Census! Have you returned your form?

The other thing I have been working on is putting together a blog site for the fiber art group, High Fiber Diet, that I belong to. We just retired our show called "Line Dance" and I have had several people who saw it ask if we had a web site or any other information about the group and members. It seemed like a good time to just "do it"! You can see it here. There you can see a slide show of "Line Dance" and see information about our new show. I now have a link to it in my sidebar. My next project will be to create a page that is a gallery of members' work and contact info. It is a good group right now, with some very talented artists.

This is the banner I designed for the new blog. I had a lot of fun putting it all together.
