Betty and Don MacDonald in Hollywood
Betty MacDonald fan club fans,
Betty MacDonald once mentioned that the family wanted to stay on Vashon Island forever.
Why did Betty and Don move to Carmel Valley?
Greta and Betty MacDonald fan club research team are going to publish a new article ' Betty MacDonald in Carmel Valley '.
Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter November includes the updated Betty MacDonald fan club essays ' Betty MacDonald in Hollywood' and ' Betty MacDonald and Dorita Hess '.
There is also an article about Betty MacDonald fan club letter collection.
We got very important info regarding the original 'The Egg and I' and the way Betty MacDonald described her first husband Robert Eugene Heskett and their neighbours.
Many greetings from Betty MacDonald fan club organizer Linde Lund.
We are very happy that Betty MacDonald fan club got so many fans in 40 countries.
At the current time I'm rather busy because my father got a very serious heart attack some time ago.
There is reason to be optimistic according to the doctors but we need lots of time and patience.
Therefore I'm really very grateful that author Heiderose Teynor is going to support us with activities on Facebook establishing a new site promoting her literary work ( which I adore ) Betty MacDonald fan club and Vita Magica.
Thanks a million dearest Heiderose!
Now let's introduce our good friend and author Heiderose Teynor!
My name is Heiderose Teynor. I live with my family in Neckarsteinach near Heidelberg.
I’ve studied history
and politics at Heidelberg University and I was always interested in
journalism and wrote my first articles during my study. Later I worked on short
stories and started my writing career.
I adore criminal stories with
meaning and understanding, when the reader has to reflect about it.
2. My favorite writer:
I like Donna Leon's stories in book form or on TV.
3. The kind of literature:
It is not very easy to
write good stories, and a teacher said to me “You can do anything,
just do not get bored!” I try to entertain my readers that they cannot
stop. In holidays I visited Italy and the Tuscany. I love these old
towns like San Gimignano, Siena or Pisa. Another aspect is my home
region round Heidelberg. Visitors from all over the world visit this
town, the castle and the river Neckar. So why is it so much interesting?
I tried to research it.
My book “Im Bann der Omertà” is about my home region around Heidelberg and the Tuscany. It is
a story about organized crime and the duty of silence. The special feature in “Im Bann der Omertà” are the regional stories both around Heidelberg and in Tuscany.
4. My opinion to Betty MacDonald
Betty
MacDonald’s “The Egg and I” is very funny and amusing as Betty MacDonald
wrote about her childhood and youth, and later about her experiences at
the chicken farm. This is a
wonderful gift to describe everyday life like she does it! Some other
people would not even see it, but she was able to write a whole book in a
very amusing and witty style.
I
heard about Betty MacDonald and The Egg and I
in Vita Magica from Wolfgang Hampel. Through facebook and net I met
Linde Lund. It is very
interesting to attend Vita Magica last Tuesday every month. The program
is always very interesting with quiet different writers and
musicians.
5. My appearence in Vita Magica
I will read together with other writers on 30th of May 2017, when Heidelberg is on program and with “Im Bann der Omertà” I will be guest reader on 28th of November 2017.
Yours,
Heiderose Teynor

These are just some of the names that Donald Trump has called women over the years. Yes, a man who's hoping to become President of the United States and presumably persuade a few women to vote for him, too.
The billionaire has
been widely called out for his objectification of women - he has a
tendency to criticise them for their looks - and sexist remarks.
I hope this crazy guy won't win because of Hillary's email investigation.

Trump calls Clinton email investigation ‘bigger than Watergate’
Donald Trump praised the FBI’s decision to evaluate new
emails in its investigation of Hillary Clinton at a rally Friday,
calling the inquiry “bigger than Watergate.”
At a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Trump announced the additional emails to a raucous crowd cheering “lock her up, lock her up.”
At a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Trump announced the additional emails to a raucous crowd cheering “lock her up, lock her up.”
“I have great respect for the fact that the FBI and the Department of Justice are now willing to have the courage to right the horrible mistake that they made,” he said. “Perhaps, finally, justice will be done.”
The FBI announced it is evaluating new emails in its investigation of Hillary Clinton after discovering potentially relevant emails in an unrelated case, Director James Comey wrote to members of Congress.
Comey wrote that the additional emails would need to be assessed for “their importance to our investigation,” though he said he could not “predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work.”
“I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information,” he wrote.
Republicans were quick to praise the FBI’s letter, and Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway was quick to seize on Comey’s letter as good news for the Republican candidate’s campaign.
In a statement from the RNC, chairman Reince Priebus said the timing of the announcement so soon before the election “shows how serious this discovery must be.”
“This stunning development raises serious questions about what records may not have been turned over and why, and whether they show intent to violate the law,” he wrote in a statement. “What’s indisputable is that Hillary Clinton jeopardized classified information on thousands of occasions in her reckless attempt to hide pay-to-play corruption at her State Department.”

Mr. Tigerli in China

Yes Betty, either or it seems he wanted to fly only with
Singapore Airways.
Boeing or Airbus, it’s just the same
isn’t it? Aren’t they both just fat birds with 500 passengers?
Yes, but Singapore Airlines has the
most beautiful airhostesses: delicate, fine, graceful… Mr. Tigerli had looked forward to the flight
so much!
So the little man was disappointed?
You just can’t imagine how disappointed
he was.
But thank God one of the hostesses was a
pretty Chinese girl. Mr. Tigerli purred loudly but she didn’t hear him because
the purring of the Airbus 380 was even louder.
The poor cat!
You’ve said it Betty. Mr. Tigerli was
in a very bad mood and asked me for a loud speaker.
I’m sure you can get one in 1st
Class.
“”Russian Girl” had even heard you over
the roar of the Niagara Falls” I said to Mr. Tigerli. “You are a very
unfaithful cat. You wanted to get to know Asiatic girls. That’s how it is when
one leaves one’s first love”.
And what did he say to that?
“Men are hunters” was his answer.
Yes, my dear cat, a mouse hunter. And
what else did he say?
Not another word. He behaved as if he
hadn’t heard me.
The Airbus is very loud.
I told him shortly “Don’t trouble
yourself about “Chinese Girl”. There will be enough even prettier girls in
China. Wait till we land in Guilin”.
Did he understand you?
Naturally Mr. Tigerli understood me
immediately. Yes, sweetheart, don’t worry. They will find you something sweet
to eat.
And he?
He was so happy.
No problem going through the immigration
control?
Naturally! Lots of problems. How could I explain to
customs that the cat had come as a tourist to China to buy shoes?
Fur in exchange for shoes…
Don’t be so cynical Betty!
Cat meat in exchange for shoes?
He came through the pass control with
no trouble!
Is this Mr. Tigerli?

Dems would have probably have voted him in a 3rd time if Steiny wasn't available.
Makes me proud to see 50 years of Sacramento City Democratcy has found a winning formula for progress after banging their head against futility. Even Liberals have good days....
Up until then we had trees.........which by the way are breaking as we speak from water load and disease. Be careful out there in the burbs...
I DON'T STUMP for Trump.
The difference between you and I Christine is I admit my favorite party is flawed and refuse to promote the wrong person for the job. I happen to think Hillary has the history to limit the ability to remove her from the presidency and drag out presidential inadequacy that will be detrimental to the people of our nation. Trump would just be a push of a button if needed to impeach.
It is a sad commentary on the current burden of reality.
