Our Christmas Visit

We went with Debbie and Richard to meet Chuck and Barb at Dino's for lunch in Pebble Creek. It is busy from here on in with Barb going home Mon, Chris G arriving that afternoon and Chuck going home Christmas day when Barb gets back.

We went back to their house for Christmas Cheer where Richard looks at Barb's new computer.

We all enjoyed getting together.

Our Walk Around Dinner

We had a progressive dinner tonight. We started with appies at Beckie and Jerry's, then we were off to our place for Chicken Tortilla Soup. Salad was down at Eileen and John's, then over to Debby and Chief's for pot roast, veggies and gravy with freshly baked bread.

It was getting dark as we walked over to Bob and Gail's for dessert with Julie's decorated golf cart.

It was such a lovely evening with great people.

Our Christmas Parade

We thought this up at the Thursday coffee and donuts. We all had our costumes ready, decorated our car which Ron would drive as Santa, with Bob and Jerry the 2 reindeer pulling his 'sleigh'. Unfortunately the sun was setting by the time the parade ended at our street.                    

                 

I hurt my back as I was getting out my red shoes, so couldn't walk the route with Gail and Becky.
Boo Hoo, haven't been in a parade for 60 years.

Opening Bash for the new Racquet Club

They've just finished building a new facility with 4 pickleball and 4 tennis courts.

The Christmas tree was decorated with tennis and pickle balls and racquets and we celebrated with goodies

Curtis Enertains in the Courtyard

We just love our neighbour Curtis,  he's a fantastic entertainer. He sang a couple of numbers with with EJ, an 80 year old woman we've played bid euchre with. He wears about 15 different hats to suit all the various songs he sings. There are Christmas decorations all around the complex.

Chuck and Barb came over and we enjoy an afternoon in the courtyard.

All the dancers were busy.

It's still warm enough for swimming.

Lunch at Filly's Bar and Grill

We went out toward the Superstition Mountains Sat. and enjoyed lunch outside under umbrellas. You can ride up on your horses or ATV's.

 Someone got silly and put a fake spider on someone's shoulder.

 The dance floor was well used.

2 couples left today to go home for Christmas but this sunshine is too hard to leave.

Starting to Look Like Christmas

All the neighbours are decorating their houses and so is the park. The palms are lighted up the entry drive.

There is a prize for the best street. Our entertainer Curtis down the street has done a fantastic job complete with Christmas music.  We're really starting to get into it now.This morning at the coffee and donut hour, we planned our entry for the Christmas Parade, got the Walk Around Progressive Dinner organized and arranged to play pool tonight. We 3 gals went to the Costume Shop and picked up our costumes. Val Vista bought out a retiring Bridal Shop, then a closing costume store so you can get anything they have for Halloween or any occasion. Debby and Becky have got beautiful gowns set aside for New Years Eve
