Peony Moss: January 2006 Archives

Dear Mr Dreher:

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE give us the privilege of reviewing your book. We are the Hip Homeschooling Mamas!

well, Pansy is, anyway.

Dear Mr Rod Dreher:

Let's not beat about the bush. Pansy and I? Are the quintessential crunchy cons. Pansy homeschools, we're both work-at-home moms, we've both owned Birkenstocks, we garden; Peony doesn't have cable and Pansy even lived off the grid for a while. We have even posted granola recipes. And conservative? Heck yes.

So wouldn't it be cool if you sent us a review copy of your book?

St Josemaria Escriva's birthday is January 9.

And he shares this birthday with... Severus Snape.

This means something. But what?

Spoilers for The Clown of God by Tomie diPaola

So it's bedtime and I'm reading The Clown of God to Hambet (who's now four and a half!) I'm trying not to tear up as we approach the climax of the book. And then we turn the page, and there is poor Giovanni, dead on the church floor.

Hambet: Is Giovanni died?
Peony: Yes, Giovanni is dead.
Hambet: Are they going to put his bones in the museum?
