It’s August in Phoenix … and it\u2019s hot!<\/p>\n

Our cluster meeting this month was a road trip to Saguaro Lake for a hike (very short), picnic (Subway sandwiches) and a dip in the lake (ahhh). The scenery was beautiful \u2013 blue water, blue skies, rocky cliffs, wild horses and a not-so-sandy beach.\u00a0 It was little crowded with lots of people swimming and picnicking \u2013 however, we had the hiking trail all to ourselves (I wonder why?!).\u00a0 After two cases of over-heating, socks getting blown away, and one bee sting, we decided it was time to climb back in our air-conditioned rental van, and head back to town. Good company and a good day!\u00a0\u00a0 Quote of the day:\u00a0 “Ladies, it’s string cheese, not bite cheese”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
