Today is my Uncle Tony's 88th birthday. Every time I pass the Saint Anthony's Friary downtown on one of my walks and I see this statue of Saint Anthony, I think of Uncle Tony and Aunt Gloria. I remember once, they misplaced something and put a statue of Saint Anthony upside down in their backyard. It was supposed to help them find whatever it was that was missing. I remember Aunt Gloria yelling out the window, as poor Saint Anthony was out there in the rain, "and you're staying out there in the rain until we find it!" I think it may have been the car keys? Anyhow, Happy Birthday Uncle Tony!
And afterwards, I stopped into the Starbucks downtown to get a holiday latte. I had forgotten that there is a buy one, get one free promo going on each afternoon for several days. So, I had an eggnog latte and a caramel brulee latte all by my lonesome. I hear that there are no calories in a BOGO.

I never heard about doing that with St Anthony. We did that with St. Joseph when we sold our house however.
