Our first child and only girl, was born 10 days early. I had pains most of the night, but baby wasn't due yet, so I sent Francis off to work. He was driving back and forth from Shelley to Roberts, so G'ma D and I delivered this baby without a daddy. When Francis returned from work he stopped to gas up the car and was congratulated on his new baby. My proud father (i.e. grandfather) must have told everybody in Shelley. Nov.12, just happened to be a holiday. This is going thru my drugged mind so out loud I asked "Is this Labor Day". Well it was Veterans Day but my Dr. got the biggest laugh out of "my little joke". She was 6 1/2 lbs. Just right.
