Another two weeks at least with the splint on my hand. The doctor is happy with the progress but feels that keeping the thumb immobilized is the best way to "baby" the tendon and let it get back to normal. As she says, you did a lot of damage over quite a period of time, so it will take some time to get back to normal.
Allyson was breathtaking in her beauty pageant last week, but she didn't take home the title. I really don't think that she cared though, she just seemed glad that it was over. Kathy was able to come. I am amazed at how quick and well she is recovering. Valerie was also there cheering her sister on. It made me very proud to be related to them because a beauty pageant is NOT Vals thing, but she was all about giving her sister support. Richard, who escorted his daughter for her formal wear run, was beaming with pride and trying very hard to downplay the whole thing.
Natalie's graduation party was great. The whole family got to see another Oudin growing up and a few new ones (Hailey and Cameron) getting started. I was sorry to have missed Angela, because even though her daughter was with us, she was working and didn't get in until later in the afternoon, by which time we had left due to the Swim Team Campout...
Emily (thank goodness) saved our lives by sleeping at the pool, in a tent, with the girls. I am not sure that JJ would have been able to handle it. We (JJ and I) are still like war refugees in shock.
The girls did ok at their swim meet on Monday and there is another one tomorrow. I think that they are starting to understand about team spirit and being a small part of a bigger thing. There are so many kids on the swim team though (almost 100) that it is hard for them to understand. They swim only in exhibition heats and have yet to actually score any points for their team, so it's all a little "out there" for now.
Tomorrow is the start of a new month. I am looking forward to a few evenings of relaxation and maybe swimming. It would be nice to get a handle on my laundry and ironing too, but I won't go there. There is a travel hold at MarkIV now, so that bodes well for staying home.
Mom and I are still working out at Curves three times a week. Lots of fun and laughs. I am sure that it is doing some good, but my body is still twice the size it needs to be - but boy-oh-boy, my mother looks great!
big bisous to all of you.

Yvonne sent me this link called Plant Your Garden. She said I had to read it. (I always do what mon amie tells me!) At first I thought I was reading a columnist from the La Times or Chicago Tribune! Then I realized, hey! I know all these people! Your style of writing, Mary France, is very humorous and engaging! Bravo! What a wonderful way to keep everyone informed!
Then I read the 2nd one and split a gut seeing my own name and a request for a photo. Coming forthwith! I truly had a MARVELOUS time at the Tribute myself! Of course, the company was fabulous!! Yvonne, you, Vivienne, Mary Christine et al. And the birthday party too, celebrating Yvonne's 75th. That was simply charming. I adore your family and yes, you certainly have a LOT to write about! Bon courage! Bisous, SAM
