The oodles of ribbons reminds me of Merilee. What is this festival in spain where you throw tomatos? Can I come? That sounds like a blast! I also love your house with the bunkbeds! Great job on your list.

Everybody's invited!
About the tomato fest:
The tomato fight in Bunol, some 25 miles north of Valencia on Spain's east coast, has become one of the country's most popular summer festivals, often drawing crowds from abroad.

Local lore says the fiesta, held the last Wednesday of every August, started in the 1940s when a group of kids threw their lunches at each other one day in a downtown square. They met again the following year, this time pelting passers-by as well and creating the tradition.

I'm dying to go
