Take a wildflower trail ride In Cave Creek
CAVE CREEK — The wildflower season is upon us, and what better way to experience its glory than on horseback? “You can really enjoy the wildflowers this way,” said Deb Bitton, co-owner of Cave Creek Trail Rides, based at the Cave Creek Regional Park, just north of Carefree Highway in Cave Creek. “A trail ride gives you a chance to get out, enjoy the desert, and let the horses watch where they step.” Wildflowers typically begin blooming in early- to mid-March.  Story Continues

Phoenix was named the tenth most irritated city in Sperling’s Best Places 
If you’re sick of hearing everyone complain about Phoenix’s weather, traffic, neighbors and so on, now you can send them to www.edgeshavezone.com where they can blow off steam by sharing their daily irritations with America – and even get paid for it.

 As the original anti-irritation agent, Edge partnered with Sperling’s BestPlaces to commission a new study measuring11 separate irritation categories like heat, traffic and household pests to identify the U.S. cities most prone to irritation.  Phoenix was named the tenth most irritated city in the study, with potential factor for irritation being traffic, and high temperatures.  (Phoenix residents spend 44 hours a year in commuting traffic, and almost half the year, 164 days, in high temperatures of over 90 degrees).

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed The Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
 
 They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
 
 What kind of men were they?
 
 Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.  
 Eleven were merchants.
 Nine were farmers and large plantation owners... men of means...well educated...  but
 they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured
 
 Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
 
 Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
 
 He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding.  His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
 
 Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
 
 At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British general, Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters.  He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
 
 Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
 
 John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she lay dying.  Their 13 children fled for their lives.  His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste.
 
 For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.

So, please take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday to remember and silently thank these patriots.
 
 It's not much to ask, considering the price they paid.  
 Remember...FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE!

Late Nite Catechism By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times, Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive comedy.

Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are Guilty
By Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible. Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are guilty."
