Re: bathtubs, shrines, etc.

Can't resist . . . Maybe you could do a shrine for Our Lady of Fatma!!!!!
 
Ohhhhh, I now must go to confession!!!!  Fran

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].
