Dark Shadows ~ My Birthday

It was 44 years ago (3/21/1968) that my mom went into labor with me while watching her favorite soap opera "Dark Shadows"!!! She didn't go to the hospital until AFTER the show went off, but later that evening I was born ~ Sandra Lynn Collins.

(Ironic too ~ my last name was Collins and Barnabas' last name is Collins ...)

At least now with the DVD collections available, she can relive that moment any time she has the desire to do so! Gigggggles! Even though one never forgets giving birth, I am sure that, at 16 yrs 3 months (exactly) of age when the blessed event occurred, she doesn't wish to relive it often! LOL!

And ... "Mom, if I haven't said it before, I apologize for trying to make my grand appearance during your soap opera! How terribly inconsiderate of me!!"
Gigggglesssssssss!


If I am correct, airing on Thursday, March 21, 1968 was Episode #454 as described below.
