great story.
I go back and forth about St. Joseph, it's a buyers market so I recently planted one. I got very angry at not one but two stores last week over the clerks (not priest's thank God) telling me to not bury it, to put it on my window sill or mantle and to pray. Then when I shared the story in the office an agent gave me the lecture too.
When I quit laughing I'm gonna post this on my blog!
Great Read! Perfect for a Sunday and Thanks for the Humor... Man can I relate and I am not even Catholic... But I have a few that I will be sending this link to! Good Luck on the Sale!
Great story told with excellence. This is the kind of iconic stuff we Episcopalians (lesser Catholics) missed when we split over Henry 8 and Anne. Had no idea about Ol' Joe and houses, so I was a perfect foil for the story. That even made the payoff even more fun.
Geno!!! First Mom told me the funny St. Joe story, then that it is on your blog, so I had to 'catch up' on my reading.
Good for you--I'm too guilty to even walk through the door of one of those Catholic shops-and I didn't have to go to Catholic School! Father McSweeny must be looking out for you xo
This must be a Mid West way of selling real estate. Out here in NYC we just sell houses, without doing voodoo...
The St Joseph kit really works. It helps when you use Holy water as well to soften the Dirt. It has helped me sell 2 of my personal homes in the past few years. Great article
"writing out my receipt with perfect parochial penmanship"
Only someone under Cardinal Krol's watchful eye can truly appreciate that line
