Oh Diary, It has been so strange these past days...I don't know if I am coming or going..Last night we had guests for dinner..Not just the one I was expecting but more...OH MY STARS...Don't laugh
but there was a full castle all right...First there was the gentleman I spoke of...Then wonder of wonders Michael accepted my invitation to dinner as well...Remember last we visited and I had that idea ...Oh but it was a good one and it worked.. I have to say it was an interesting evening as well as a surprising one...Let Princess wish for things and OH MY .....you never know what you get...There were also 2 other people...One was a woman, another a man..NOW the way I undersand this, these 2 are candidates for being my trainer in sword fighting and other disciplines...I canna believe this...Father is trying to see which of the 2 would be the better for the job....

LA ...CAN YOU BELIEVE IT...He has finally weakened...I donna know why...perhaps he feels I should be able to protect myself , who knows but this Princess isn't going to argue with a gift horse ...Or what ever the saying may be...LA...The man is so handsome...OH he would be my choice, I tried not to show my interest as I am sure that would affect the King's decision....(for those out there reading, he looked like Mel Gibson just a tad younger)...The woman is very attractive and incredibly tall...I have to say first impressions, I canna deny I do not like her...Very arrogant!....Sheesh...

The evening was quite interesting..The man that father had told me about was very interesting as well...He is tall, with dark eyes that I would swan had swirls of color in them when you first looked...They would take you in those eyes...He has dark hair, and seemed very knowledgable but quiet...Very fascinating...I had the feeling that he was familiar but there is no way that could be, my friend...He looked at me and his eyes went to the very deepest part of me....I donna think I could keep any secrets from this one...I would catch him watching me...There were others present...Some dignitaries, and friends of the family...Well, I am very tired, so I will continue this tomorrow..There is so much more to tell you...Everyone is staying for at least a few days...So I will check in with you to finish...Take care...my friend....As always...~Mira~

8/2/00 Dear Diary, Please forgive the lack of entries, my visits have been sketchy at best..LA , all right I admit that it has been too long...Please forgive...I have been very ill the last few weeks...It is just a passing sickness that kept me to my bed for a bit...I am feeling better now and should be going about my duties very soon...SIGH...It has been very horrible to feel like you would like to fade away but then you don't..I am much improved.. Alas, while ill, I received the most beautiful flowers and notes of well wishes from many...I felt very special indeed, in between the many visits to the chamber pot...The tall gentleman visitor of father's very kindly sent me a beautiful new bridle for Maximus that is hand tooled...It is lovely...I was very touched...Though a mite embarrassed as it worries me that father may have come to an agreement over my state of affairs...OF course I am only guessing and I could very well be entirely wrong... There was also flowers from Michael (DARN HIM) and Prince WaveCrest sent me the most lovely carved hummingbird...It is quite lovely and a thrill to have gotten his attention....Most kind indeed.. Dear Frog did not visit too much until I was at my worst and then that dear one was there to help me through....He sang and listened to me...Kept me company... Well, I will check in later as I am very tired...I will let you know many things that have happened during my illness...Hope this finds you well and not missing me...SMILE...fair thee well, my friend...~yours Mira~
