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.
