Wordless Wednesday: Happy Birthday, Mommy!

So, this will not be wordless at all!

Happy 16th Birthday to my mom Virginia Marie Stalls! She was born on February 29, 1948 in Memphis, Shelby County Tennessee. And being the first Leap Year baby born that year, she got her photo in the paper!

WOW! – The first Leap Year baby born in Memphis is shown above with her mother, Mrs. James Stalls of West Memphis. And you can see the new baby girl doesn’t like it much. She gave a lusty howl when the photographer asked her to pose at St. Joseph’s Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Stalls haven’t yet chosen a name for their Leap Year champion, born at 12:01 a.m. yesterday. Eighteen new members have joined the Leap Year Club in Memphis. Nine boys and nine girls were born at Baptist, Methodist St. Joseph’s and John Gaston Hospitals yesterday.

Also, according to my grandmother, my mom wasn’t howling, she was yawning!
