NotchTop Bakery is Top Notch
On my recent trip to Estes Park, CO, I purposely ate breakfast in a local favorite bakery Notchtop located next door to a True Value in a strip shopping center not far from the Stanley Hotel of THE SHINING. Eighteen Christmas trees were displayed along with a poster of Jimi Hendrix sans guitar sitting on a motorcycle.
On Friday mornings from 7-10 a.m. Kristi Welborne's Fair Trader radio show broadcasts from the back of the bakery. First she interviewed the owner who read a story about his grandmother's honeymoon. He serves breakfast all dayand does love his healthy tapas.
Then Kristi read from her weekly emails and faxes. Samples:
For sale leather saddle $325.
Four-way metal clothing rack.
Sunglasses.
I decided that Estes Park's female Garrison Keillor wanna-be was not helping my writing career other than this post. So, I finished my excellent granola pancake and left.
Ernest Hemingway could not have found a place to sit because of the mature ski patrol men. I always wondered where they went when they retired.

Reserve a Spot Now for THE ART OF CREATIVE LIVING course in Fall, 2009
Kay Bishop, Workshop Facilitator
The Art of Creative Living course
Fall, 2009
405.642.5333
Pablo Picasso said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
The Art of Creative Living is for anyone interested in living more creatively through practicing an art; even more broadly, anyone interested in practicing the art of creative living.
Just as blood is a fact of our physical body, creativity is a fact of our spiritual body and nothing we must invent. We are literally created to create.
How do we get blocked? Somewhere between the bank, the school, and the carpool or between open house, women’s lib, and the lawnmower. Somewhere between menopause, infertility, hopes and dreams of us and others, and April 19, 1995.
Come play for thirteen weeks and discover, recover, or free your creative powers during two-hour sessions.
Specific objectives:
1. Practice permanent, practical tools to dissolve subtle blocks that we entertain which keep us from becoming the unique creative individuals we were each designed to be. In a sense, discover yourself as a work of art.
2. Develop the habit of daily journaling to engage the creator within.
3. Schedule a weekly solo date to receive creative insight, inspiration, and guidance.
4. Share your personalized creative recovery or discovery with an intimate group.
5. Homework (homeplay) is approximately one hour per day. Serious art is born from serious play!
Gather your friends together and pick a spot!
Only $200 for twelve sessions.
