Winter Solstice 2009

I know, I know, I'm a little late on this post but I have been a bit busy these days. Anyways, every year Farra and I host a winter solstice party to celebrate the return of the sun. This is our time to give back to a year of great friendship and look toward a brighter year to come. As some of you may know every year there is a theme and this year we went with the Old West / La Revolucion Mexicana. It was a true pleasure having all of you over to our home and we look forward to the next one where the theme will be.......PROM!

Que paso caballero? Y su caballo?

The house señorita ready to defend her home.

Some of the many home baked treats.

Another picture of the treats just to tease those of you who couldn't make it.

Old West meets Old Settler.

Another one for the road. Who knows how long before the next saloon.

Howdy sir. Yes, I am a barber and very meticulous.

This is what happened when we ran out of the 2008 Ballast Point Barrel-Aged Sea Monster Stout.

Planning their next adventure while rallying up some dishes.

The local sheriff and his wife. Pardon my stare sir.

Yes, even back then there was a local "ladies man".

Look at those beautiful blond locks and handsome eyes.

Ladies relaxing back with some bourbon on the rocks, while the men wrangle up some more beer.

This man was mad all night long. Don't know why?

The rest of the folks chatting it up and discussing some local gossip.

Smiles were seen all over peoples faces all night. Could you ask for a better group of friends?

Where is that darn skunk smell coming from. Lemme have a crack at it.

A slice of the many boots that were knockin' that night.

Thanks to everyone for such a memorable evening. We are thankful for your friendship, love and support in all of La Mesita's adventures. See you soon.
