Days picking blackberries in Cane Valley were the best

Paula Ball writes:
This picture takes me back to my younger days. I lived in Cane Valley and there was a huge blackberry patch through the field and up a hill from the house. It didn't take long before I had my regular customers who would call, before the picking started, to reserve their berries. Oh, how I would love to have one more spring/summer from those days. I would hold on to every minute! - Paula Ball

Idea of Fathers Day started in 1909

Father's Day: June 19, 2011

The idea of Father's Day was conceived slightly more than a century ago bySonora Dodd of Spokane, WA, while she listened to a Mother's Day sermonin 1909. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart, awidowed Civil War veteran who was left to raise his six children on a farm.A day in June was chosen for the first Father's Day celebration. 101 years ago, June 19, 1910, proclaimed by Spokane's mayor because it was the monthof Smart's birth. The first presidential proclamation honoring fathers wasissued in 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson designated the third Sunday inJune as Father's Day. Father's Day has been celebrated annually since 1972when President Richard Nixon signed the public law that made it permanent.

There are an estimated 70.1 million fathers across the nation.Source: Unpublished data from the Survey of Income and ProgramParticipation. U.S. Census Bureau
