A 50th Fiesta!

Monday, March 9, 2009

Absolutely!

I love it when I get a call like this!  It is so much fun to help create the special memories for people when they ask for my help!  fiesta, 50th, outdoor lights,

 

A bit of a challenge to turn the enclosed driveway area into a 'Mexican Midway', but we pulled it off by stringing up lots and lots of lights, and  paper lanterns! 

It just screamed 'Fiesta'!!

 

Even the backyard pergola was 'dressed up' for the party!

Fiesta food, decoration and dancing!  What better way to celebrate your 50th, right Ed?

An 80th Celebration!

Wednesday, December 10, 2008

 

     One of the favorite restaurants for this guest of honor was Tampico Spanish Inn, so his wife chose to make it the location of his 80th celebration! 

     A former Midlander, Joe Parsley of Clear Lake was thrilled when he arrived to a Mariachi band...playing 'Happy Birthday" in his honor!

      Family and friends came from as far away as New York to honor and celebrate with Joe and Lucy Parsley.    Guests were greeted with cocktails and Joe's favorite nachos, while browsing and enjoying the many nostalgic photographs hanging throughout the patio party area.  alt alt

 

 

Jim Moring presents Joe Parsley with a framed photo of the oil company team at Parker & Parsley in the '80's, as Howard Parker looks on.

The Fall Gatherin', Ranch Storytelling and Awards...

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

 altwestern award event, Haley Library

In true Texas fashion, reminiscent of the Old West, the weekend was full of memories - both old and new!  The "Burning of the Brands"  was held on Friday night, with each honoree's ranching brand burned for posterity on the fence of the Haley Library.  Only the honored few, would be allowed to do that!  On Saturday, after a fajita lunch, there was a photo session, and all the while, lots of laughter and stories could be heard.

After a brief rest, the honorees and a few others were invited up on stage to reminisce about the 'good 'ole days' of the wild west.  This was the real deal, mind you, from the men that lived and worked in those times.  Stories that were passed along, so that others would understand and appreciate the pioneers of those days so long ago.....A chuckwagon dinner and finally the awards, highlighted and completed the wonderful weekend!   old west, chuckwagon, awards

This honor is bestowed upon those who represent what it means to be a true, honorable and well-respected cowman, such as the late Foy Proctor.  As many would (and did) attest, Foy Proctor was a 'cowman's cowman'.  This year the Board of Directors of the Nita Stewart Haley Library and History Center nominated and voted in six honorees to receive this high honor.

Those inducted and receiving the Foy Proctor Memorial "Cowman's Award of Honor" for 2008 were:

Honorees left to right are Ray Snead (Dalhart, TX); Kenny Smith (Hobbs, N.M.);Doug Fernandes (Pecos, TX); Byron Fort (Tatum, N.M.); Larry Fernandes (Kermit, TX); Melvin Cotten (Andrews, TX)

 

                   Under a full harvest moon - what a night!

"Thankful" to be 50!

An 85th Surprise

Monday, September 22, 2008

Larry and Scherry Wells wanted a surprise birthday for their 85-yr-old dad, Richard Wells of Midland, on his birthday - and we were there! 

Friends and family came from all over the country to wish Richard well - even a well-timed phone call to Korea!

From the colorful tiered cake, to the Hawaiian Hula dancers, this 85th birthday was a tropical delight! (and yes, he was SO surprised!)

                     Happy 85th Birthday!
