I own The Stillmeadow Road - I found it at a used book store. It is so wonderful to find other women who have fallen in love with Gladys Taber. Finally I just gave them back to the person I borrowed from. What did you think about the second book of the Outlander series? I loved the first book I couldn't stop reading it, but when I started up the second one I was so disappointed, I even glanced at the third just to see. Kay - Living in Beautiful Washington State Susan, I would be interested in your books. Would anyone be interested in purchasing them for a small amount? Hi, folks! I'm new to the site and the daughter of a down-Maine farmer! When we were cleaning out the barn, I found some Gladys Taber books which are in excellent condition. I love chatting about her with other members on this forum, I am so grateful to Mellisa for mentioning her here a few months ago! Hi Molly, Yes I feel like I am right there with her, like she is a good friend.
Meadowlark, how I want to just melt into her world, the way she writes it makes me feel like I'm right there with her! Do you feel that way too? I'm only on chapter 4 right now of the book, and I'm hooked for life with Gladys Taber! I love her wonderful witty way of writing, and how she sees everything in life as special and wonderful. Thanks for the links, Shelley, the pictures are wonderful! How special you got to go visit and see what it is really like there. You don't know how happy I am to know other's love Gladys as much as I do.YEAH!!!! It's so good to meet some other Gladys people. Her books are such a welcome getaway from the speed of life today. If you'd like to stop by for a visit there.īy the way, I love "The Best of Stillmeadow". Come into the forum and you'll see some topics to read about. Delightful.Īlso.make sure you visit Susan Stanley's "Gladys Taber's Stillmeadow". I got some wonderful photos and everything was just as Gladys describes in her books. Click on that and you'll see Stillmeadow. Just go to the Photo Albums and then you'll see "May, 2005 Pictures". I live in New York state, and I'm about an hour from where Stillmeadow is. Erik and I visited there this spring and it was wonderful. If you want to see Stillmeadow as it is today (very little changed from Gladys' day by the way) please stop by our website.
I'll meet you there." Rumi, 13th century. "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. There is just something so special about her.Maybe the fact she found such joy in the everyday living and peace of her home in the country! I fix a cup of Sleepytime Tea and drift into her world at Stillmeadow. I have a few of her titles I found at a used bookstore. Hi Molly! I read that one a few months ago! Isn't it wonderful! I love to sit down late in the evening when it is peaceful with Gladys Taber books. "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." -Henry David Thoreau I am just devouring it, I can't get enough!!! HI all, how ironic I came across this thread, since I just checked out one of her books the other day at the library "The Best of Stillmeadow, A Treasury of Country Living", edited by her daughter Constance Taber Colby. We'll be friends until we're blue in the hair. She always seemed to invite us in for tea.and sit us right down at the kitchen table. Everytime I read one of her books, I can "see" exactly what she is doing at that particular moment, what the weather is like, what the animals are doing. That is so true!! I you read between the lines, here was a single woman with a child in the 1930's through the crazy times of the war and the 50's and 60's who lived a farm/country life which I even today a woman doing that herself is still unfortunately not common (thanks to websites like this that will change!!) She makes me feel like I can maintain my home and family, but makes it fun and always find the adventure in it, especially when something goes wrong.
