Re: bathtubs, shrines, etc.

Thanks, Fran. Marvelous idea. You really want me to get smacked, right?

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].

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!
