A Day In My Life

So What Does This Mean??

 

So exactly what does this mean??  I borrowed a statue of St. Joseph from my neighbor to bury in the front yard for help in selling our house.  I have been good about saying the novena every morning even though this feels odd being as though I am not Catholic.  She told me to be sure to follow the directions to a tee and good luck would come our way.  I thought well it couldn't hurt at this point-we have never been in this position before of not selling our house within the first week so what the heck.

So I put it in a baggie and went outside to the front yard to bury it upside down with his body facing our house just as I was instructed.  I made sure it was all covered up and it looked as nothing had even touched the layer of ground in which I put it.  So two days go by and I'm saying the prayer deep down hoping that from all that I have heard about this it will work.

Well today on the way to the bus stop with Carter I looked over at Tanner who was in front yard and he had something in his mouth that was making a clanky sound.  I immediately said "DROP" and this little tiny cream colored object came out of his mouth and he slowly walked away with a certain look on his face like 'oh no'.  I walked over to pick it up and my first response was "oh my God" and then a few other words while in the background Carter is  saying "is that St. Joseph??".  All I could do is look at him and say "now what?".  I thought this was odd that Tanner would dig it up let alone even find the thing.  He is not a digger and never has been-this to me was odd.  I continued on to the bus stop with the little Saint in my hand all the while thinking this is a bad sign.

Once I get to the bus stop at the end of the street I hold it up and my neighbor says what in the world happened and I proceeded to tell the story to the few that were still there.  They all came to the conclusion that I should bury it back in the same spot the same way without the head and continue with the prayer every morning for the remainder of my days.  Christine my friend, said this just may mean you may not get your asking price or something along that line which I thought that is fine as long as it sells.  So as I walk back I am thinking immediately when I walk in the door I am saying the prayer and a few others! 

So needless to say, I am going to put it back in the same spot the same way and direction and hope for a miracle.  Anyone who wants to say a little extra for me-please do because right now I'm not so sure on how St. Joseph feels about having his head bit off.

Thought I would switch up my header with the Philadelphia banner being as though we won't be here too much longer.  Love the city of Phillie because there is so much history there, so many cool things to see and do and some great resturants.  Will miss going to the airport to either drop someone off or pick them up then heading 5 minutes down the road into the city to shop or eat lunch or dinner. 

 

 

 

 

I hope to head back downtown alot more before we move, but then on to a new city with a whole new list of things to see and do!

Another Sign Says It All

 

Yes, another sign that says it all! 

Not true in my case but I am sure it may be to others out there!

The Sign Says It All

 

I do believe the sign says it all! 

 This is outside one of our florist shops down the street from us and everytime I pass it, I laugh. 

The other side of the sign says "We hate groundhogs day!"

I couldn't have said it better.
