Re: clay pots/Dillon Seed Co

Even as a recent convert to Catholicism, one of the things I am trying

OMG This was something we were FORBIDDEN to do growing up for fear
that<br>neighbors would think my family "just got off da boat!" It's
really not<br>just an Italian thing for I've seen it in Mexican
neighborhoods too.<br>It's that Catholic thing and especially the BVM
worship. Of course I<br>guess that it's in my genes for I've got a St.
