A buried St. Joseph

Several people have told us recently to get a St. Joseph and bury him in our front yard. Austin went onto the internet and purchased a St. Joseph statue and we buried him in the front yard today. The tradition says that if you bury St. Joseph upside down facing the street and say and took a few moment to say a word over St Joseph (we used their example...St Joseph, guardian of household needs, we bury you now to help us in the sale of our property. Please bring us an acceptable offer. When escrow closes, we will dig you up and display you in a place of honor in our new home". Short, simple, to the point. We followed every instruction, including keeping St. Joseph in his protective burial sleeve.

So here is hoping we get a sale :) A gal contacted me off Craig's List today and came by tonight with her boyfriend to see the property. They had just begun their home search but they seemed to like it. Perhaps they will buy it!
