Re: clay pots/Dillon Seed Co

Okay, I'm convinced. Tomorrow I will start my quest for a discarded bathtub. And I will visit one [two, if necessary] of our concrete statuary merchants to find a virgin Mary that fits inside the bath tub. And I will create an Italian shrine somewhere here at the plantation.

Meantime, please remember that Ms. Fatma is Muslim ["not a terrorist," I tell people at work while not making eye contact, but occasionally a Holy Terror] so we may end up with a second bathtub [somehow I don't think Muslims do this, but I'll ask first--would be really, really funny if they did; I mean REALLY, REALLY FUNNY] with a statue of Ali--if the concrete statuary merchants have such [probably not, because they are mostly Italians, cranking out Marys and like most Italians and/or Americans, have no idea who Ali was].

Mardi !!!!! I grew up in Chicago and believe me Chicago has plenty of Our
Lady of the Bathtub shrines! You must have just been in the wrong
neighborhoods!

it's right up there with my desire to get an old,
footed cast iron bath tub & making a water feature/water garden out of it.

Eva, in some small towns in Iowa it is not unusual to see a bathtub
half-buried horizontally in front of a house with the Virgin Mary in the
enclosure! Having grown up in Chicago, I'd never seen anything like it!
