in full gear making sure census forms are delivered to every home
in the United States and Puerto Rico.
The good news is that it’s easy - when you get your form, just answer the 10 questions and mail the form back in the postage-paid envelope they provide (the form cannot be completed online). It only took me a couple of minutes to complete mine.

I can't tell you how happy I'll be in a few weeks. My family and I will gather in Chicago to celebrate my second cousin's 100th birthday. Hattie is going strong—doesn't take any medication and can still belt out a hymn like nobody's business.
