Tomorrow I will go out to buy a St. Joseph statue. I forgot to do that while selling this apartment. Or course, I had saved the one my Mother had brought me when I was selling my old apartment. I honestly hope that St. Joseph is a forgiving saint as my child broke the head off that statue. I'll give it a go again. I think that St. Joseph would rather I bury him upside down instead of ignore him all together. Don't worry, I'll post the picture once he's down there, underground and upside down. Seeing that I'm in an apartment I may have to bury him in the front planter. I will put my apartment number on his feet, just in case.

ReplyDeleteMake sure to dig him back up when you sell and move! I forgot to retrieve St. Joe at our last home in NC, and had to sneak back under the cover of darkness to retrieve him from the new owner's garden!
