Thank you, Kate, for posting all of this for us today! 3 years, already? Your writing is truly so engaging. Have you ever talked with your editor about combining your posts into a book? Gladys Taber was always a favorite of mine, and you are in that same camp. You, Greta Pie and Pie Cottage--what a great series!❤️

Pam, thank you! Gladys Taber is new to me. Is there one you suggest I start with?

You will love Gladys, her dogs, her beloved farmhouse Stillmeadow. You could begin with THE STILLMEADOW ROAD or THE BEST OF STILLMEADOW: A TREASURY OF COUNTRY LIVING. I'm confident you will get hooked. There used to be a Gladys Taber Society. I was a member for awhile. I don't know if that group still exists! She wrote cookbooks, too. Trust me--you and Gladys, kindred souls!
