Hello all & happy father's day!

For all of our Dads out there we appreciate you and I predict there will be a lot of grilling n' gatherings going on and hopefully you can kick back a little while everyone else does the work for you! Be sure to take good care of all of our dads for all they do we sure appreciate it!

I've got a MUST HAVE recipe for any type of summer party you've got....CANDY APPLE SALAD which I always get special requests for. It is unreal hoe much this has a taffy apple taste without an ounce of caramel in it believe it or not! Oh it's a sweet one for sure but still qualifies as a salad ;o)

Take a peek below at a little Father's Day trivia too. We'll be loading you up with great recipes all next week to get ready for the holiday so stick around.

Enjoy!

IS IT A HALLMARK HOLIDAY?

The celebration of Dad's special day can most likely be
credited to Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington State, who
first suggested the idea of the holiday in 1909.

Mrs. Dodd's father, civil war veteran William Smart, was
widowed when his wife died in childbirth with their sixth
child. Despite the obvious hardships, Mr. Smart proceeded
to raise the newborn along with his five other children,
by himself.

It wasn't until Sonora Dodd became an adult that she realized
the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising
his children as a single parent. The original date chosen for
the holiday was June 5, Mr. Smart's birthday, however the
celebration was postponed until June 19, the third Sunday in
June, because there was not enough time to prepare.

At about the same time in various towns and cities across
America other people were beginning to celebrate a Father's
Day. Some accounts credit Mrs. Charles Clayton of West Virginia,
as the founder of Father's Day, although most histories give
credit to Mrs. Dodd.

In early times, wearing flowers was a traditional way of
celebrating Father's Day. Mrs. Dodd favored the red rose to
honor a father still living, while a white flower honored a
deceased dad. J.H. Berringer, who also held Father's Day
celebrations in Washington State as early as 1912, chose a
white lilac as the Father's Day Flower.

In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a
national Father's Day, but it never became official until
1966 when President Lyndon Johnson signed the presidential
proclamation that set aside the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's
Day.
