beckmcd01: “Now that I’ve seen you live, I will drive throughout Oregon (and possibly southern Washington and northern California) to see you. You were great!” < ——THAT is quite an endorsement my friend!

I will deliver your cryptic message to Jessica

I like that even though there is only one gate in the airport, you might get paged to meet your party there (giggle)

Hi Rachel, thanks again for visiting with us in Klamath Falls! I can’t tell you what I did when I found out that you were actually coming here. And you’re right! Our tiny airport is a sight to see! Please tell Jessica thank you for the gift…she should know what I’m talking about. Now that I’ve seen you live, I will drive throughout Oregon (and possibly southern Washington and northern California) to see you. You were great!

Ella: “Brilliant”?? I am not so sure about that… do you read many blogs? LOL I am glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed living it and enjoyed writing about it.

Oh boy I might just have to have Lindsey read that, rather than try to actually say it, but thanks!

Anita: Dear Anita, it takes so So SO much more than that to upset me. I was teasing… did I forget the wink? – Ah yes I did! Sorry! Here are 3 winks to make up for it I am not easily offended and I straight out admitted in the chat that I LOVE TJ Ross and shopped there before the trip. Everything I know about clothes I learned from Marcus, except, I taught HIM to shop sale racks and discount stores. (Coming soon an entire post dedicated to Marcus!) I am happy to share my “secrets” – I love a good deal AND I cut coupons! I even shopped at ROSS in Klamath, so there!

aimee: AHH! You guys are great! I mean really you have driven how many hours total to see me? 13 or something CRAZY like that? The least I can do is ruin one of my very own songs for you and your adorable daughter! When I came out on stage I glanced over at thought, “No way!!! They were in Salem too!” Even in the mayhem that was Salem/Denver and Nicholas’ birth, I remember walking toward the parking lot with you guys and you said you drove 4+ hours!” Hardcore ST! Fans – wait… children’s show and hardcore?? STILL! I standby it – HARDCORE!

Please stay in touch~ hopefully I will eventually perform somewhere within 30-40 minutes from you! Let everyone else drive!

lisadee: LISA! I have already had people saying that you are their hero! And REALLY anyone who lives in a place whose population is over 14,000 can NOT say there is NO way they can pull off getting me there. You, my dear, are amazing! I can’t wait to come back!

I will pass the word along to Jessica LOL – She’ll be thrilled to hear it. Oh boy, what have we started? I guess she will have to come back with me next year. (Seriously giggling!) Nick was such a good sport, coming up on stage with me.

Let me know if there is an A-Frame in your neighborhood available. southernbookworm has talked me into retiring there!

So glad to hear that the two of you returned home safely. The day after you left Klamath Falls, it snowed and is still SNOWING! My wheels continue to spin deciding when to have you back. Again, they can tell me NO! all they want. You will be here in 2009. My boys miss you something bad. Every time we go bye-bye, “Rachel?” I might have to bring you back much sooner. Jaxon would not take off his Hopkins shirt for 2 days – man – did he stink! My oldest son, Nick thought that Jessica was “hot”. Her boyfriend isn’t in England … he is in Oregon. Everyone confuses Oregon with England, it’s the craziest thing. Until next time. Thank you so much, once again. You are so amazing!

First, we would like to say the ability to communicate with our daughter at such an early age has been an amazing blessing, to say the least. Almost indescribable really. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to you Rachel Coleman for making sign language so accessible to everyone. We would also like to say Thank you for singing the Birthday song for our little girl Aiyanna. When we asked her on the way to the event what song Rachel was going to sing she consistently replied “Happy Birthday Song”. So again, Thank you for indulging her request. You sang it Perfectly! I also wanted to share that after receiving a hug & kiss from you, every night at bedtime the last words she says are “Rachel Kiss Hug” and then falls fast asleep. No exaggeration. So one more time, Thank you for bringing happiness, excitement, and learning into all of our lives.
Love Aimee, Aiyanna, and Mark
