Tuesday morning, eight "Lit Chicks" drove to Sedona, checked into a hotel and headed to Oak Creek Golf Club where we only played 9 holes. The scenery was spectacular. We got back to the hotel around 5 and had Happy Hour by the pool. For dinner, we drove to uptown Sedona. I had salmon which was sooooo good.
Wednesday morning we had 9:30 tee times at Sedona Golf Resort. We were counting putts so I didn't focus as much on my round. My golf was very inconsistent but the views 
were so spectacular, I didn't care. The weather was nice also, cooler than in the Valley. Between golf and dinner, we had a short discussion of "The Pillars of the Earth" which we will discuss further when we meet in October. We had dinner on the patio of a very nice Mediterranean restaurant. enjoying chianti under the stars.Thursday morning we played Verde Santa Fe, near Cottonwood. The course reminded me of the rural Iowa courses. Again we just played for putts. I didn't win any money either day but had a great time.
The stock market was up and down all week. Thursday night I was afraid to look at our portfolio which didn't have much damage. We are pretty much in fixed income funds but I was concerned about Fidelity after the collapse of Merrill Lynch, AIG and Lehman Brothers Brokerage. This is a frightening time, much like the collapse in 1929 which led to the Great Depression.
