Best of the Net — Dead Housekeeping

Every year, we have the pleasure of selecting a few essays from among the year’s wonderful submissions, and sending them onward for consideration in the wider pool of literary merit. It’s always a little bittersweet, like sending your children off to school.

This year, we’re offering two essays to be considered for the Sundress Best of the Net anthology.

In case you missed them the first time, here’s

How to Pierce Your Granddaughter’s Ears

and

How to Get Your Grandchildren Ready for Church
