Cove Gallery: Sean Qualls Family with Grandpa
Left to Right:
Isaiah, Sean Qualls, Tomie, Ginger, Selina Alko
When Tomie's Blog Blogger told the group to "smile," Isaiah used his hands to make a BIG, BIG smile.
Ginger walked around the gallery repeatedly saying "Tomie." During this photo "session," she called Tomie "grandpa."
Sean Qualls and Selina Alko are both talented writers and illustrators of children's books, and it was great to see them with their son and daughter.

Hmm...
Tomie was reading an article last week in the NEW YORK TIMES about Chelsea Clinton's wedding. He was surprised to read that it was speculated the wedding would be held at Astor Courts in Rhinebeck, New York. Astor Courts is owned by his friend Kathy Hammer and her husband.
Kathy attended an autographing a couple of years ago, and invited Tomie to see the house. But, he couldn't go because he was on book tour, and had a tight schedule to keep.
When Kathy and Tomie spoke last night, Kathy said she couldn't say anything.
Sounds like a confirmation!
Or is it?

Strike a Pose
We went to see "The 39 Steps" yesterday with Connie and Peggy (owners of Morgan Hill Bookstore) at the Weston Playhouse in Weston, Vermont. (Tomie performed on the stage of the Playhouse many, many years ago.) The performance was flawless in quite possibly the most comfortable AIR-CONDITIONED theater in northern New England.
