Ma and Pa Kettle - and 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

Linde Lund

Fat. Pig. Dog. Slob. Disgusting animal.
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.
This should be bigger affair than Watergate.

I can't believe it. Can you?

I am neither Christian enough nor charitable enough to like anybody just because he is alive and breathing. I want people to interest or amuse me. I want them fascinating and witty or so dul as to be different. I want them either intellectually stimulating or wonderfully corny; perfectly charming or hundred percent stinker. I like my chosen companions to be distinguishable from the undulating masses and I don't care how. - Betty MacDonald

Trump calls Clinton email investigation ‘bigger than Watergate’

Trump on newly discovered Clinton emails: at last justice will be done

Donald Trump was holding a rally in New Hampshire when news broke that the FBI would review new emails in its investigation of Hillary Clinton. He called the inquiry “bigger than Watergate.”
C-SPAN
“They are reopening the case into her criminal and illegal conduct that threatens the security of the United States of America,” he said over nearly deafening cheers, adding Clinton’s “corruption is on a scale we have never seen before.”
“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.”

Loretta Lynch testifies before lawmakers over Clinton email probe

Attorney General Loretta Lynch defended her decision in front of the House Judiciary Committee to close the Hillary Clinton email investigation without criminal charges, insisting the Justice Department had no reason to reject the unanimous recommendation
C-SPAN
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.

Comey and Congress go head to head over Hillary's emails

FBI director James Comey was summoned to an emergency meeting of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on July 7, and no punches were held by Democrats, Republicans and even Comey. The director appeared before the committee to answer questio
Speaker Paul Ryan also renewed his months-long call to deny classified briefiengs to Clinton “until this matter is fully resolved.”
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.”

Yep, Quite possibly the only thing he and his wacky band of Libaholes have accomplished for this city.

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....

Is "denounced" the new Democrat slang term for elected by majority vote?

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.

She won't be.

Actually, this is a pretty shrewd move on her part.
Have Comey say he is reopening the investigation, thus mollifying the right.

Then, a few months after she is elected, he will announce that there was nothing improper found.

The Clinton "slush fund and money laundering" Foundation is what NEEDS to be investigated.

This corruption goes back to George H.W. Bush, a CIA agent serving as Vice President under Reagan.Bush Sr. gave us Iran/Contra and they were flying drugs into Bill Clinton's Mena, Arkansas. Thank God we had a "special prosecutor" named Lawrence E Walsh who gave us the Walsh Report and it should be required reading for everyone who loves the USA. Why? Because if Casper Weinberger (Colin Powell was his # 1 aid) and the other Iran/Contra criminals had gone on trial and blown the lid off of the scandal, Bush Sr would have been impeached. In short, Bush Sr. had to lose and he put his Lieutenant, Bill Clinton, into the Presidency until his son, George Jr, could get the family's Heroin replanted in Afghanistan. Read the Walsh Report on Iran/Contra and connect the dots and then it will become clear why Bush Sr and Bill Clinton are SO CLOSE, especially when they raised (and stole) billions for Haiti. So use some INSIGHT and connect the dots and understand why I call them the Bush/Clinton Crime Families. In truth, the Clinton Foundation is a slush fund and money laundering operation and the Bush/Clinton Crime Families have turned our country into a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.  And, the sad part is, if they are NOT STOPPED, they will SELL US OUT to the New World Order. Now is the time to speak up, to put our lives on the line, to be prepared to die to save our country.

She did have everything on her server deleted, erased, and bleached. However, there are always two copies of every e-mail. One from the sender, and one from the receiver. Hence the wording "discovering potentially relevant emails in an unrelated case".

Beijing Airpot


Mr. Tigerli in China

Copyright 2016 by Letizia Mancino

All rights reserved  


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?

I said to the officials. He isn’t a cat, he is Casanova.


He came through the pass control with no trouble!
