Yesterday was my brother Ward's birthday. I called my mom's house hoping to reach Ward because he doesn't have a phone. The answering machine answered and I left a birthday greeting for Ward. I still had a desire to talk with one of my brothers so I called Cody. And he was there!! I have never been able to reach him before. We had a great talk. I love my brothers very much. I felt very content speaking with Cody.

Today I am cleaning house and getting ready for the new guests that come on Monday.
Tomorrow we are taking a day trip to Gibraltar. I need to figure out what we will do with Kati for the day. Not much else going on.
I am excited to have visitors soon. And I am getting more excited about our trip to Ibiza.
That's all for now.

Sarah has been and gone. It was great to have her here. We giggled a lot. I love to giggle. Very refreshing.
Juanan's birthday party was pretty fun. I really like hanging out with Juanan and Inma. They are very kind people but silly too. I enjoyed watching Juanan enjoy his party. I danced a little which was nice because I really like dancing but don't do it much lately. I had a lot of love and acceptance in my heart for all of the people that were at the party.

Beth didn't win the Eurovision song contest. But it was VERY fun watching it anyway.
Turkey won, Belgium second and Russia with t.A.t.U in third. I am glad that t.A.t.U didn't win because they were rubbish.
Went to the beach again on Monday. Very nice, I am turning a nice summer goldy peach color.
Have some new friends coming to visit next week. A young woman from England and a young man from America. They are both here to work and vacation a bit. I think they will really like it here and should have a good time. It is difficult not to enjoy the beauty and warm weather and good, affordable food.
Matrix Reloaded was awesome. I can't wait for the next one to come out. Just several months away! Around the same time that the third Harry Potter movie comes out and the third Lord of the Rings movie as well. Big year for movies.
Tonight I teach a voice lesson. Gotta work on laundry and getting the house ready for the guests.
Oh and this weekend we are going to Gibraltar to stock up on British goods.
