And we are back! We had a two week hiatus. One week we were camping here (picture above) and last Friday was filled with summer camp pick-up, car breakdowns and well…life. I almost sent the list out on Monday but there is something a little cruel about getting an email called The Friday List on a Monday. Anyway, hope the last couple of weeks have treated you well and here are some extra links for your weekend enjoyment.

Cool Things in Nederland
Nederland Farmer’s Market is this Sunday
Nederland Summer Concerts: We attended the one in July and it warmed my heart to see so many Tadasana people hanging out together.
Nederland Jazz & Wine Festival (be sure to get your ticket before it sells out)
On July 3rd, longtime supporter and devoted yogi, Tom Miller passed away. Many of you will remember Tom who always attended Wednesday and Friday 9am class unless he had a dentist appointment. His dedication was admirable and his quiet spirit will be missed. If you have a memory or a tribute to share, please join us at his memorial on August 18th at the Nederland Community Library.
Tom Miller was an amazing yogi…his steadfast commitment to practice and just always showing up was a highlight of my morning ritual. Tom would always be there to chat about the wild flowers, the birds, the winds, the snows…a true mountain man who just so happened to love his yoga community. I love you Tom!
Your friend,
