Pudgy Pelican .Avalon NJ and Me -2010

Do I only Blog once a month now? I am trying to write my Christmas letter and re-reading my blog journals and trying to condense them. Two Family deaths; beloved Aunt and Uncle. Four new cousins -all Grandchildren to my first cousins. One girl and three boys (our first set of twins)/a new friend turned one/ My little sister turned 50, our Mother 80. ( I was with them for both celebrations)/ my BFF turned 40, without me/ My Writers Group published our second book, I learned how to re bind a book? or I took the class anyway/ I participated in the 2010 Historic Census -it was a eye opening experience -IRS taxpayers were angels compared to the citizens I met doing the Census and I include the Census administrators and neighbors. I also met some wonderful, interesting Census workers -all ages and backgrounds. Wrecked my car by allowing a deer to hit it/I am fine, she is not. Learned a dear friend lost her husband and two High School friends, each, a son. I continue to declutter my house/spoke with a Realtor / found time is not right to market house/ had some trees removed from the front and the back partially cleared and some work done on the house-spent all the Census money so still saving for the big 60 birthday Land /Sea cruise to Alaska/ Nutrisystem helped me loose 22 lbs and I am down to my college weight-feel pretty good off the Insulin -would like to loose about 50 more lbs and off the majority of my meds but that is for the next Christmas Letter...........
