Leftovers from last night's celebratory meal. Our oldest daughter, Hannah, got engaged to her beau, Joe yesterday. He planned a 2-day, 3-state scavenger hunt which ended with him proposing at a bonfire in a snow covered field on his family land, under the stars.

They've been together 4 years now, and have a year left in undergrad before med school for Joe. Wedding is going to be early next summer. Hannah is the smartest, calmest, kindest godly young lady you'll ever meet, just like her mother. Joe is an amazing young man who has diligently guarded their purity, and works SO hard to stay on the path he's planned since he was a kid; following his dad and grandpa into medicine. A more perfect couple cannot possibly exist!

Oh yeah, I made my signature lasagna (yes, real Italian sausage, provolone+mozz, and ricotta, plus copious amounts of garlic for the purists), baked asparagus wrapped in prosciutto di Parma, spicy capicola w/ fresh basil and mozz pearls, antipasto, and washed down with a nice imported chianti. Wife's 642-1 Pro should suffice for protection today, the bad guys are staying home due to the sub-zero temps! Big Grin

Congratulations or I think it's Best Wishes for your daughter.

Sounds like a lot of work for that proposal.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Congratulations to the entire family!



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown
