Happy Birthday, Hunter!


Today is Hunter's 45th birthday. He spoke to his parents this morning and his mother recalled the day he was born like this.

On a very snowy morning January 30, 1965, Hunter's parents went to their local doctor for a checkup. The doctor turned to them and asked, "Do you have good snow tires on your car?". They said they did and the doctor announced that they should make the 85 mile trip to the hospital in Richmond that very minute. They arrived at the hospital at 11am and Hunter was born at 1:10pm.

We have about 6 inches of snow on the ground today. This is the third snowstorm for us this winter. This is almost unheard of in the eastern part of Virginia. A light dusting of snow, maybe. But the way it is snowing today, we will probably have a foot of snow after it's done. We can't help but laugh at the irony. Hunter's parents said the snow on the day he was born was just like today. What are the odds of it happening exactly 45 years later? Even more ironic? Hunter hates snow! I took this picure today at about 1:10pm. Happy Birthday, H-Bear!!!
