We will be celebrating Independence Day on the fourth day of this month with parades,
fireworks, and all sorts of festivities. Folks will sit around in red, white, and blue blouses,
shirts, hats, anything that has the patriotic flare. Grandmothers will prepare their favorite
recipe, moms will cook an abundance of foodstuff, and cousins will be cleaning out the
“White Mountain” ice cream freezer for a special treat of homemade ice cream.
Marching bands are practicing and checking out uniforms and seeing if they still fit.
Choirs, orchestras and all sorts of musicians are probably already practicing music for that
most momentous concert featuring “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “The Eighteen Twelve
Overture,” “The Star Spangled Banner,” and around our town some deep bass singer is
limbering up his vocal cords for a run at “Old Man River.”
As old time pallets are being “aired” out, husbands will be hunting through the storage
room for picnic baskets and barbecue grills. Convenience stores will stock up on ice,
snacks, charcoal and cold drinks for this special day. What a truly wonderful “American”
day we celebrate, a true red, white, and blue holiday.

July 2009 ~ Volume 11
| The Bodock Post |
God Bless America
Well folks, here it is July already,
“Summer time and the livin’ is easy,” as the
song says. It’s time for vacations, cookouts,
baseball games, picnics, and many trips to the
ole swimming hole. Fishermen will clean out
their boats, ready their motors, and brush off
their stories of the ones that got away.
Mosquito spray and sunscreen lotion will be
sold by the gallons as we go out to enjoy
nature. Don’t forget to set aside time for the
Bodock Festival in August. What a wonderful
time is summer.
