Miracle at the Towers

We know that we have been blessed to have the opportunity to fulfill a dream of ours by having completed our recent home remodel. This was brought home to us by a miraculous event which took place while having Gaius Derf over for dinner. The eagle eyed Derf noticed something on the counter after we were done eating.

On closer inspection we saw that a drop of wine that had formed the shape of heart.

As a born again Aztec, I was immediately taken. This was a symbol. An omen. Action was required. Clearly a sacrifice was called for. Clearly Derf was the only candidate. However, since he had a vague idea of Aztec ritual, he made an escape using the excuse of taking out the trash.

As a result we settled for a simple devotional offering

This is an historic event, ranking right up there with the statue of the Virgin Mary weeping blood! Alert the media!

Seriously though, the little wine heart is quite awe inspiring. I hope you didn't wipe it up!

You kill me (and I'm grateful that I was there to be the the sacrifice). That is great and I like your offering!

Set up some flowers and call the papers!! You'll have people lining up for miles.

I'm glad that no one had to die to celebrate the drop of wine. A very good omen nonetheless!

That'll teach ol' Derf to point out things like that to you!

Maybe you can sell the counter on ebay for thousands of dollars!

Those are very nice decorations.

you are hilarious! too bad your sacrificial guest hit the high road.

oh, and speaking of hitting and road, a bird totally committed suicide by car the other day. i assume it was suicide since i was trapped behind a tractor and only going about 20 mph! it totally aimed right for my grill and that was that.
