Six years ago today....closed. still miss it, and all of you.

We still have the Jackson Conserver undercounter dishwasher for dale. It's a commercial unit. It worked great for 12 years, and is in storage. A neighbor said she wanted it, then never paid for it. Great little dishwasher, good for a cafe, a bar, a childcare facility, a club. Interested? Call 217-787-3267. Leave a message. Lists at around $1400 on ebay. Willing to deal.

Come to the book signing of Tuesday Mornings at Trout Lily - Wednesday, January 14, 5 - 7 pm, at Holy Land Diner. John Knoepfle will be on hand to sign the books.

I just finished reading Tuesday Mornings at The Trout Lily Cafe, by John Knoepfle. Thank you, John, for your wonderful warm descriptions of the little place I called home for 12 years. Your words took me back there - the warm yellow walls, the smells, the sounds, and the wonderful people passing through. Some bought coffee, some came often, some became friends. I was very sad for some time after closing the cafe. Then came a period of just missing it. Your little book brought it back to life for me. See you at the booksigning ~ that's Wednesday, January 14th, 5 - 7pm at Holyland Diner, for anyone interested in John's book. The cover sports a full color photo of Julie Hulvey's delightful mural that was by the front door.

Soon there will be a little book about Trout Lily Cafe, by John Knoepfle. Watch for more info!

getting together a little note about the Trout Lily, and why I opened it, for John Knoepfle. He will be publishing Tuesday Mornings at The Trout Lily soon.

St Patrick's day parade makes me miss all of you more ~ Caed Mille Falite!

Well, art & music & friends & murals got all mixed up in the post. Enjoy!

I still have a stainless steel handsink with faucets and drain attached, and a Jackson low temp undercounter automatic commercial dishwasher for sale.

I particularly miss Trout Lily this time of year. All the hub bub, folks coming home for the holidaze, stopping in to say hi; regular annual customers; and I did love putting lights up everywhere and decorating the outside of the building! It was such fun to dream up new holiday drinks, bake little muffin cakes, make pizzelles, and pull out my ever expanding collection of holiday music. I think Ben Bedford and Mike Anderson's albums were great, and loved Stray Cats and Christmas Gumbo. (Why didn't fb pull in BB and MA's names? Hmm.). Merry Christmas, Happy Holidaze to you all! ~Kate
