My dear new friend from Buffalo, New York told me about some guy named Father Baker who is big around Buffalo and Western New York. My dear new friend said she had asked him for help on the sale of last house and was going to do the same for me.

Well, our house sold in nine days. So...you might give a shout to this fellow, Father Baker, who saw to the building of the large and beautiful basilica in Buffalo New York...which I have never personally seen. Father Baker passed away, I am told several decades ago, but he must be the reason we sold our house so quickly. Just ask him to help you sell YOUR house. Couldn't hurt.

Thank you Karen.
Gracie, when we sold my fathers home things weren't going as fast as we would have liked so my brothers suggested the St. Joseph idea. The closest thing to a St. Joseph statue I had was from a cheap copy of a Precious Moment Christmas nativity scene. I took St. Joseph, carried him out to the backyard and buried him. That's when the confusion started!! Looking at the remaining figures, I realized that I had possibly buried one of the wisemen instead...and then the issue came up ..should he be buried upside down, facing the east, head up...etc, etc......sooo...I tried to find him, buried somewhere in my dad's 1/2 acre back yard. Needless to say, he's still out there somewhere. Btw..the house did sell.
