I wish there was an easier way to share this with my folks on this forum, but there is no way.
First, I will say this, I love our daughter and I am so very proud of her.
As many of you know, and for those that do not, I effin hated her ex fiancee, of which she eventually broke off their engagement. It was a brutal decision for her, and I have been doing the happy dance since that night.
Long story, and I will keep it short. He was careless, dangerous, and totally self centered.
Today he was arrested for a hit and run, which killed a very young woman.
This is why you are a parent, this is why you have to step in, to keep this from happening to your children.
Our daughter is struggling, My Beautiful Wife is heartbroken.
I can't imagine what the deceased's family is feeling now, nor can I imagine what his family is going through. They are good people and devout to their faith.
I am so proud of my daughter for listening to me, I am so glad she made up her own mind. We were lucky. Very lucky.
It is ok to interfere. We are parents. We do our job.

Wow. In a sad way, she has learned a hard lesson today. You want be able to influence them much longer as the enter adulthood. The difference is they will come seeking advice when they want it. You just gained a lot of cred. Sorry, didn’t mean to move away from the tradegy....still hard to wrap your mind around I am sure. Prayers for all!

Parenting is the hardest thing I've ever wanted to be good at. I have two daughters with one in a similar fiance situation. Sounds like your daughter has an awesome mom and dad. She will get through this because of you guys.

@YukonRon , so sorry you and your family is having to go through that. Prayers for all involved. Your daughter will be stronger in the end for having experienced the “growing pains.”  Wisdom and strength are often the products of pain and suffering.  Hoping things get better soon, brother.

Prepping tonight’s chicken pot pie from leftover chicken and homegrown okras. Mrs. Dyal is gonna make the pie crusts (I suck at baking).

Digging through some old pictures and had to stop and sigh remembering the A-4 Japanese Wagyu steaks to which I used to have access.

If the cow dies from a heart attack, do they still chop em up?

Admiring the cover for my blackstone that I received from @Tspud1 today. It is very nice I recommend it to anyone considering it for their blackstones!

Yep.  Not the cheapest, but worth a try once in my lifetime.

Animals raised for slaughter by responsible ranchers which die prematurely are usually sent to veterinary pathologists for a necropsy to rule out any infectious diseases.

After doing the math, decided to wait a couple of years and try to get as debt free as possible before making the leap. Thanks for asking though.

These won’t suck. Got a feeling they’re lava-like on the inside, so gonna rest them awhile.

50 cents a ear here.

10 for $2 bucks here.

Free here.  FIL is a farmer and have several friends that are farmers.  Buddy brought over prolly 50 ears 2 weekends ago.  Boiled and froze half of it.

I miss my free Illinois sweet corn for sure! $.75 an ear here on sale.

Dyal_SC

Little bit better than Swanson.

4 ears of corn and almost 3lbs of round roast for a whopping $4. I'm not really sure what I'm doing with the round roast yet but should make some descent sandwiches when sliced thinly.

I was lucky enough to get this lovely lady to agree to a date night!  We went to a new to us resturant which we never even knew existed just a few miles down the road.  It was a nice evening.  Pan seared grouper for me, beef for the lady.
