Welcome to Guilty Pleasures: The Paranormal Pub – Off-Topic Chat Served Up Daily

[Melhay]

I had to stop by and apoligize to CozyinVt as I didn't realize her Harley brother, Brian, was to be returned two weekends ago.  But he seemed to be in no rush to take off either.  *shrug shoulders* *innocently sounding* Not sure why.  

She caught up with me and let me know she was worried about him.  Oh, he was definitely safe, but she hadn't heard from him.  But, he was sent home yesterday.  But I am hoping he will be rested up for this weekend...

So, what funs do we have planned for this weekend?

Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, and serve.

Enjoy!

  Oh, and if anyone heads over to the book corner we have a new list of short stories we could listen too.  I don't know if anyone has read

Phoenix Rising yet, but the authors have a podcast set up for us to listen to short stories in the world.  The Agents of the Queen work in the Archives so there are loads of case stories to be told.  And they do some in about half hour casts.

If anyone would like to check them out, you are welcome to, Here at The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences...

I hope you enjoy!

Oh yes! I have heard of this book.  I think "Ellen Connor" will be coming out with the third book in this series later this year.  But, I would like to get to this series as Ann Aguirre is one of the authors in this seires and well I've loved her work thus far. Thank you! 

The two authors working together here is Ann Aguirre and Carrie Lofty.  I've never read any of Carrie Lofty's books though.  I love the way they come up with the name they use as an author though.

Here is a link to their site if you want to check out the way they came up with their name and about the books.   http://ellenconnor.com/about/

Thank you so much for mentioning this one!  

Oh, and those Chocolate Soldiers where good, weren't they!  Thanks to Paul and his magic behind the bar.

My husband is planted in front of one of the TVs watching old war flicks, but it's doubtful that we'll get outside over this holiday. It's been raining off-and-on since Thursday.

It is important to remember the sacrifice of those who gave their lives and/or service to secure our country. It's strange though that most people don't celebrate Memorial Day like they use to in the past. My mother and her sister, my Aunt Rose, explained to me as a child the mass remembrance of the dead that occurred in their small town in SW Iowa. They lost their oldest brother Martin, who enlisted in the air force during WWII. I remember them explaining that almost every other house within their small town lost a son, husband or brother. They described Memorial Day as a town event, and a mass decoration of the graves of the fallen. I don't see that today. (In fact, I never saw that. I assume I was born too late to see that.) Flags are put on the graves in Arlington National Cemetery, but the general population doesn't seem to revere the fallen dead anymore. I suppose it's inevitable with the passage of time.
