Friends of Gladys Taber Reunion - Memories and Friendships To Cherish

Sagamore Bridge - a gateway to beautiful Cape Cod

I just returned home from the Friends of Gladys Taber Reunion which was held on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.   The weather was perfect; sunny with comfortable temperatures. The company; perfect, as well.

The trip was quick, but worth the time away from our farm.   I came back distinctively rejuvenated and relaxed after spending two precious days with women I call my friends.

Still Cove, located on Cape Cod, was Ms. Taber’s second, or alternative, home.  Her appreciation for Still Cove, the Cape and its people is obvious as lovingly detailed in her books, My Own Cape Cod and Still Cove Journal.  Still Cove, with a major rebuild, is now under new ownership; but, the essence of Gladys and her small seaside cottage remains.

Sea Call Farm

Gladys Taber still draws people to the Cape in spirit with skillful prose; her rhetoric most alluring. The lucky ones actually get to vacation on the narrow land of sand, salt marshes, pine and oak woodland surrounded by ocean.  I am lucky.

On  the Cape, I had fun taking photos of many of the places Ms. Taber writes about in her Still Cove books: Sagamore Bridge, The Lobster Claw restaurant, Mill Pond, Rock Harbor, and  Sea Call Farm to name a few.   The tranquility, the dampness of the sea spray, the dark water lapping quietly and rhythmically onto the rocky shore near Blue Rock, the fresh and tasty seafood meals, the ever changing blue hues of the ocean water…well, I really had to be on site to experience these  unique sensations hands-on.  I  gratefully took away an exclusive, personal understanding of Cape Cod.  My visit made me a richer person.

Gladys Taber probably said it best..."Cape Cod is whatever one seeks."

During the gathering, I was able to glean new information about my favorite author, Gladys Taber, via interesting slide shows and programs presented by our knowledgeable members ; but, sharing life in back and forth conversations with other Friends was most satisfying.
