The Plumber & Little Thai Girl would like to wish you all a very Happy Independence Day!
Our most loved story about July 4th is by Barry Farber (Radio Talk Show Host):
The Presbyterian minister took a walk down the block on Christmas morning to visit his young granddaughter.
The five-year-old was joyously playing with her generous tower of toys."Did your friend next door, Rachel, get Christmas gifts as nice as yours?" the grandfather asked the little girl.
"Oh, no, Grandpa," she said. "Rachel's not Christmas. Rachel's Chanukah. And Rachel's not Easter. Rachel's Passover.
"Then her little face lit up as she added, "But we're both Fourth of July!"
Love always!

July 4, 2009 - Dunk Tank
Daeng and I headed to the Mission Viejo Street Faire around 3:00 PM to help our friends Tom Riehl and Catrina with the Dunk Tank. 
People were lined up so they could throw balls to dunk the folks that took turns in the dunk tank. I noticed from the roster that our friend Tom was going to be in the dunk tank from 6:00 - 6:30 PM right after the ice cream eating contest. I made a note to save my money so I could dunk Tom.
This is an annual event at the Mission Viejo Street Faire on Independence Day each year. All the proceeds go to the American Cancer Association.
When we arrived it was a warm and sunny day. There seemed to be something for everyone, train rides, food, music, shops and the DUNK TANK.

The bands and singers would perform for about and hour and then another group would take over. 
At 5:30 PM Daeng, Catrina, Tom and I set up the plastic for the ice cream eating contest. Three teams of two people each made sundaes and feed them to each other blind folded. It was messy but fun to watch.

on his way down for the first dunk. Check out the expression on his face.

We shut down the dunk tank when it was starting to get dark.
We hung around to watch the fire works.
It was a pleasant day! Happy Independence Day!
