I Was Born
The first dramatic thing that happened in my life: I was born!!!! I was born into a family with a FATHER and a MOTHER!!! an older brother, two Grandmothers, one Grandfather and a host of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.
Now I am the kind of person that cannot stand to be late for anything!!!! My Daddy had to go about 10 miles (by mule and wagon, I suppose) to get the Doctor. So, since I don't like to be late for anything, I decided to be born before the Doctor arrived!!! But one of my Grandmothers was there and an Aunt, so my Mother did not have to welcome me all by herself. I can't imagine having a baby at home with no Doctor nor a nurse. But that was pretty normal for 1930s.
We lived on a farm way out in the country, so I am a county girl.
Now, who knows why I was born?
God Knows!!!!
