We met Barbara and Don Elleman this noon for lunch at Burdick's in Walpole, New Hampshire. Walpole is the home of filmmaker Ken Burns and a wonderful restaurant and chocolate shop. It's also a halfway meeting point for the Ellemans and us.

Barbara is curating "Drawings from the Heart: Tomie dePaola Turns 75," a retrospective exhibition at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, July 3 - November 1, 2009.

It now appears as if most of the activities with Tomie "in the house" will be on Sunday, July 19, and a weekend in mid-October (the weekend yet to be determined).
Since the Ellemans are close friends, it was great to use the Carle exhibition as an excuse to get together.
