Friday, Sylvia cooked pies. Glenn stayed out of the way, went to Walmart for brown sugar, and cleaned the car inside.

Christmas Eve , we are attending services in Tucson with three couples. Doug & JoAnn, Gerry & Claudette, and Gord & Paulette. Gord and Paulette are first year full timers and have not had Mexican food. They can't say that any more. We had dinner at "Macaya's Mexican Restaurant" in Tucson. The food was good along with the service.

We stopped by the "Illuminations" in Tucson. The area of the city has candles in bags around all the streets in the sub-division. Quite a site to see.
The services at the church was good, with with carols in many languages.
Today, Sylvia is at the clubhouse getting ready for Dinner. The meal is being made by 22 people from many areas and fore couples are Canadian's. The meal should be interesting.
