GARAGES AVAILABLE
Our residents get VIP treatment when it comes to parking. If you would like to give
your vehicle VIP treatment too, why not check into renting one of our garages? They
are available for rent, and they’re also great for storing items that are taking up space
inside your home. Please contact the office for further information.
Z SIZZLIN’ SOUTHWEST COOKOUT Z
May 3 • 3–5 p.m. • by the Pool
At our community, we put the sizzle in southwest living. That’s why we’re cookin’ up a
great time for our residents. Join your friends, neighbors, and staff for our cookout, and
enjoy some super sizzlin’ sensations. You’ll have a mouth-watering good time. Please
bring your favorite dish to share.
DO NOT FEED THE CRITTERS
Nature has provided us with lots of little creatures to watch and enjoy. As cute as
birds, ducks, and stray cats may be, they can pose a health and safety hazard to our
residents. Wild animals may spread disease, and we would like to discourage them
from making their home in our community. So, please do not feed the critters on our
premises.
DOORWAY DO’S & DON’TS
When kept clean and tidy, your entryway can be an attractive approach to your home.
Please don’t allow your home to spread beyond your doorway, though. Entryways
and the areas around them must remain clear at all times. Doormats are welcome,
but garbage bags, storage items, bikes, etc. are not.
☺ FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS
Referral Checks
Getting together with friends is one of life’s pleasures, but time and distance keep us
from doing this as often as we’d like. We have the perfect solution. Invite your friends
for a tour of our amazing community. Chances are they’ll sign a lease and become
your new neighbor. When they move in, you’ll receive a referral check!
Prescott Celebrates 150 Years
I
t’s Prescott’s turn to light the candles and celebrate 150 years
of history dating back to 1863 when it became the original
Territorial Capital of Arizona. They call a birthday like this a
“sesquicentennial,” but town folks and visitors alike call it a great
party just waiting to happen.
The Mayor opens the ceremonies at 5:30 p.m. Friday evening,
May 30, at the Courthouse Plaza. He’ll deliver the official proclamation
accompanied by a period-correct color guard. Then the music
kicks in and a delicious, 150-square-foot birthday cake will be cut
and served to everyone there. Later that night, the Sharlot Hall
Museum hosts a territorial dinner, while back at Courthouse Plaza,
the crowd parties on with a free concert and beer garden.
The next day at the Courthouse, there’s fun for the whole family,
with music, inflatables for the kids, interactive exhibits, and a family
theater. Over at Mile High Middle School’s football field, visitors
can walk through a Western village to experience the “Old West,”
the “Wild West,” and the “New West.” Each area has its own
activities, attractions, and displays, including Western entertainers,
re-enactors, cowboy poets, blacksmiths, and leather workers. The
“New West” looks to the future, with multi-cultural areas and local
colleges and schools. That evening, the party moves back to the
Courthouse area for a concert and a little relaxation in the beer
garden. The weekend wraps up Sunday afternoon with the Rough
Stock Rodeo at Prescott Rodeo Grounds. This 1800s-style rodeo
is free to those 18 and younger.
Whether you’ve visited Prescott many times, or you’ve never
been, there’s a good reason they call it “everybody’s hometown.”
Tucked away in one of the largest stands of ponderosa pine, a
cool mile high up, Prescott has something for everyone. For more
information, log on to visit-prescott.com, or call 928-499-0699.

Burrito Casserole
Makes 12 servings
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced
tomatoes
1 (4 ounce) can diced
green chile peppers
1 (16 ounce) can
enchilada sauce
1 (15 ounce) can black
beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16 ounce) can spicy
refried beans
18 (5 inch) corn tortillas
12 ounces shredded
Mexican blend cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the ground beef for 5
minutes or until brown and crumbly. Add the onion and garlic,
and sauté for 5 more minutes. Drain any excess fat. Mix in the
tomatoes, green chile peppers, enchilada sauce, black beans,
and refried beans. Stir mixture thoroughly, reduce heat to low,
and let simmer for 20 minutes or until slightly thick.
Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture in the bottom of a
9"x13" casserole dish. Cover with a layer of 6 tortillas. Follow
with a third of the meat mixture, then a third of the cheese.
Repeat tortilla, meat, and cheese pattern until all the tortillas
are used, topping off with a layer of meat mixture and cheese.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until
cheese is slightly brown and bubbly. To serve, cut into squares
and garnish with jalapeños, black olives, lettuce, chopped
tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Tonto Natural Bridge State Park
H
idden in a lush, green valley surrounded by
a thick forest of pines, lies the world’s largest
natural travertine (light-colored limestone) bridge.
Tonto Natural Bridge State Park is a scenic, yet
rigorous, hiking adventure located ten miles north
of Payson, Arizona.
Formed over thousands of years, this natural
rock bridge stands 183 feet high and arches over a
rugged 400-foot-long tunnel which measures 150
feet at its widest point. Within the tunnel are clear
pools of water. Beneath the bridge’s arch are several
caves with stalactites and stalagmites. The steep
Waterfall Trail and Pine Creek Trail lead hikers
through the boulder-strewn creek bottom, while the
Gowan Loop Trail goes to an observation deck.
Tonto Natural Bridge State Park has won three
Best of Rim Country awards, including Best Historic
Site, Best Place to Hike, and Best Day Trip. The
park is located off Highway 87, 10 miles north of
Payson. For information, visit azstateparks.com.
Summer Survival Tips
Summers in Arizona’s lower desert last
for four or five months, with temperatures
frequently reaching triple digits. How can
you keep your cool when everything’s
heating up?
Cool off at the pool. Take a refreshing
dip or get some exercise without becoming
overheated. Join the kids at a nearby
splash or spray pad.
Think air-conditioned comfort. Move your
entertainment plans indoors. Visit movie
theaters, museums, and libraries. Enjoy
an indoor concert or show, go bowling
or shopping,
and frequent
your favorite
restaurant.
Choose early
morning or evening for outings, and make
them short. Slather on the sunscreen, wear
a hat and sunglasses, and take water.
Always stay hydrated. Drink water often,
and don’t wait until you’re thirsty.
Never leave people or pets in a car, even
with a window cracked open.
