Does anyone out there besides me remember this Christmas classic- "Hardrock, Coco & Joe"? It may just be cause I'm from Chicago... or it may be cause I'm OLD!

Well the weather outside is frightful- But in here... ITS FINALLY so delightful!

So sorry for being closed the last 2 days- Over the weekend our hot water heater and the furnaces both went out- which made it very cold here... But all is well again and the Book Nook Bistro' is again the warm little getaway from the world outside!

A Christmas song from Michael Bublé.

I do love being back working at the Book Nook Bistro'- its like living in the merry old land of Oz!

Original 1939 film directed/filmed by MGM studios and Victor Flemings. I just clipped the part where Tin Man (Jack Haley), The Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr), Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) and Dorothy Gale (Judy Garland) entered the Emerald City singing song "Merry Old Land of Oz" with bunch of servants/workers
