DAY OFTHE DEAD

 The Day of the Dead is a Mexican holiday celebrated in Mexico and elsewhere, linked to the Catholic observances of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day. Countries with large indigenous populations celebrate it on November 1 and 2. 

People create altars to remember family and friends, with prayers and traditional dishes served as part of the celebrations. In AZ, many communities hold celebrations and remembrances. The cemetery in Tubac was busy with people visiting and decorating gravesites. 

Recapping some holiday fun celebrating friendship and enjoying lots of yummy foods and spirited drinks.  

Marilyn in the middle of the group was a cute granny charmer with a wig and a sparkly shirt.        

My hat was fun and festive as it lit up matching Charley's glow in the dark shirt. 

Martha, who is our resident photographer, creates amazing charcuterie boards.

Dennis and Ann came with a creative plate of Halloween cookies.

Bob and Cathy introduced their new dog Julie to the festivities. 

George and Francine were themed with clever witches and skeleton motifs. 

And last but not least, our hosts Tom and Toni. And we all thank you for your Halloween hospitality. And so we all move on to the next holiday, Thanksgiving dinner with Cathy and Bob.
