My realtor friend from Maine, now in Philly, replied "I have heard of it, a lot of my colleagues are Catholic and will bury a St. Joseph for a house that's been a tough sell!" And another added "One is suppose to bury it upside down in the BACKYARD. ...Oh my friend got hers dug up twice by a critter, took forever to sell that house! LOL I told her it was probably an angel working on her behalf to get her to the right buyer."<br /><br />Birdman, I was wondering if the statue is dug up after the sale. <br />Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-91044280743605875352015-07-02T16:44:22.963-04:002015-07-02T16:44:22.963-04:00I like the sculpture.
