Father's Day

It's Father's Day!!!

Ever wondered about the origins of Father's Day? Well, here goes...

The celebration of Father's Day was inspired by the success of Mother's Day (which was observed nationally for the first time in 1914). Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, was listening to a Mother's Day sermon in church in 1909 and decided that fathers deserved a similar day of recognition. Her father, a Civil War veteran, raised Sonora and her five siblings after their mother died in childbirth. She circulated a petition suggesting the third Sunday in June (the month in which her father was born) and urging people to wear a rose on that day in honor of their fathers. The first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910. It was not until 1966, under President Lyndon B. Johnson, that it was proclaimed a national holiday and observance of this on the third Sunday in June was made a law in 1972.

Lunch was whipped up by Mummy and Babe, as requested by Daddy. The two elder ones were hmmm.. busy with their Uni matriculations and were spared.

A very simple meal, a mix of Italian-Asian main course. Spaghetti in tomato puree (Italian), accompanied with capsicum, diced chicken breast meat, small prawns and sliced button mushrooms. It was yummilicious! The grated cheese melted once it touched the piping hot spaghetti. Ohhh~ so mouth watering. =p

Dinner was also upon Daddy's request. Well, he's the King of the day. Pizza was what he wanted. And he took a liking to the sweet 'n' spicy drumlets. Haha... Daddy's really cute at times. Shared among the three kids, we treated Daddy to pizza. In the end, three of us ate the most. =.=

Family meal comprising of two regular pizzas, two garlic bread, and 6 roasted honey wings. In addition, we ordered sweet 'n' spicy drumlets, more honey roasted wings, and the Hut's classic breadstixs. Father's Day became pretty Italian for once?

It was a stay home Father's Day but hope Daddy did enjoy his meals.

To all fathers out there, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
