Default Re: St. Joseph in the yard

I buried St. Joe and sold my home in just about three months.

But I didn't list in prime selling season. I listed early Dec. Reason (according to my agent) is everyone lists in the spring. You have more of a chance selling to a transfer in the winter months - companies do their budgets and transfers at the end of the year and this is also the time many people change jobs that will bring them to a different state.

I did sell to a transfer and we negotiated a decent price; not exactly what we wanted but it worked out.

I dug up St. Joseph, washed him off and wrapped him in tissue. He's packed away until we move into our TV home in Sept. Oh, I never said the prayer. Just buried him upside down facing the house.
