Dear Mr. Keillor, I was putzing around on the internet, looking for things to do this April, when I visit my sister Jennifer in your home state. I sure do hope we get to see your show when I'm in town. I've listened to on NPR since my son was an infant, and he'll be accompanying me on my visit. He's now 18! Thank you for your wit and candor.
—Kathy Rhein-Davis
To: Michelle
Honey Thanks for letting me ski with the boys in Utah for my bday present ! Take care of the kids until I get back and then it's your turn ! If I don't come back right away it's probably due to heavy snowfall Love Hew
—Hew Russell
To: Ashe
Congrats on your show! Mom and Dad said it was fantastic and your choreography stole the show. Glad your chickens FINALLY started laying. Don't worry the delayed development shouldn't alter the eggs' biological integrity that much. Just enough to mutate the egg eaters slightly. Love you.

To: Jessica
Happy 28th birthday from your baby sister. Please use your seniority now to get mom to stop boiling down maple syrup - the paint is starting to peel off the kitchen wall! Oh, and our green eggs are bigger than yours. Serves you right for raising city chickens!
