Betty MacDonald's house demolished

Brigitte:

I was rereading Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew.

See  comment regarding my kitchen experiences :

http://bettymacdonaldfanclub.blogspot.com

It's really very sad that Betty MacDonald's house near Roosevelt High School had been demolished.

Don't miss the Betty MacDonald DVD with Betty MacDonald's delightful sister Alison Bard Burnett and very witty Wolfgang Hampel visiting the Bard house.
You can see house, rooms and the yard.

Seattle and Washington State should honor a gifted writer like Betty MacDonald but it seems reality looks different.

Many Betty MacDonald fans donated very important letters and documents and we can learn more about this unique writer every day.

What about a Betty MacDonald documentary with this new material?.

We really should do this.

We hope some more  Betty MacDonald interviews by Wolfgang Hampel will be available in the future.

As devoted Mr. Tigerli and Letizia Mancino fans we can't wait to read about the new Betty MacDonald experiences.

Betty MacDonald Collection

Rena:

We have wonderful Betty MacDonald Fan Club news.

Very important Betty MacDonald items for Betty MacDonald Fan Club Collection.

Read the fascinating story in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter October, please.

Yes, indeed dear Betty MacDonald Fan Club fans!

There is always something new under the sun after all those years. You only have to find it.

Ella, poor darling I can understand you very well because I know your situation.

What can we do?

Betty MacDonald's grandmother Gammy would say: Men are pigs. Don't allow them to go to your kitchen.

I'm a bit afraid we can't act so strict. I won't.
In fact we like men!  Excuse us, please Gammy.

Perhaps Mr. Tigerli or our new Betty MacDonald from Italy know the answer.

Thank you so much in advance for your very wise thoughts.


You can find  my Eurovision Top votes:

I don't understand the reason why some countries like Italy, Germany, Ukraine and UK got so less points.

I have no idea!

Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew

Ella:


We  enjoy Mr. Tigerli's website very much.

http://letiziamancino.wix.com/prettycat

Thomas, I don't know what Mr. Tigerli or Letizia Mancino say to this.

I agree with Betty MacDonald and Elizabeth.

I'd say men and women are very different but they need each other.

I have the same experiences like Betty MacDonald with husbands Bob and Don.

My second husband Paul  is much better than my first one was.

We are very happy.

I always have to laugh when I'm reading Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew.

Betty's descriptions of beloved but rather strange husband Donald MacDonald are priceless.

Everything is true especially the way men behave as cooks in the kitchen.

Our kitchen looks like a battlefield.

Therefore I'm very much afraid when dear Paul says: Ella,  I have a huge surprise for you.
I'm the cook today.

OH NOOOOOO! I have to work for hours and hours in the kitchen after such an event..

Paul is an excellent cook and I enjoy his results very much  but as Betty MacDonald tells us in Onions in the Stew:  He behaves typical man!

Thomas, I don't want to add anything more. It's enough, don't you think.

After all I agree with your Eurovision votes.

Ukraine should be the winner.  Sweden, Germany, Russia, Latvia and UK are my other favourites.

Thomas I have to go back to my  kitchen now.

I could cry.

What a mess!

Paul was cooking yesterday..................

Betty MacDonald's women and men

Thomas:

My dear Hans,  I had to laugh so hard  because I know you very well

Perhaps you are this Hans in Betty MacDonald's Anybody can do anything.

Could be, yes it could be.

Alhough we have a very happy marriage my dear wife recently said: men and women can't live together.

They are too different.

I gave her a very strange look and my darling said:  Thomas dear,  read what Betty MacDonald wrote about it and you'll know what I'm talking about.

http://bryanelizabeth.blogspot.com/2009/08/egg-and-i-by-betty-macdonald.html

Betty MacDonald fan Elizabeth wrote:   Soooooo much truth. It's killing me.

Come on dear Betty MacDonald fans,  I'm awating your feedback. Thank you.

Is it true what Betty MacDonald wrote?

My Eurovision favourites are:  Ukraine ( best singer), Sweden, Serbia, Germany, Russia, UK.

Betty MacDonald's friend Hans

Hans:

Wenche, thank you so much for the very interesting Betty MacDonald info.

Betty MacDonald fan Laura describes in her blog Betty MacDonald's experiences with 'dirty' Hans.

http://sewatsea.blogspot.com/2009/03/great-find.html

Believe me, please I'm not 'dirty' Hans described in Betty MacDonald's ANYBODY CAN DO ANYTHING and I'm sure it isn't Laura's hausband.

I'm working with Peter and Beat on a new Betty MacDonald Fan Club item entitled

                          The truth of Betty MacDonald's friend Hans

So you can imagine that I had to smile reading the story in Laura's Blog.

Wenche, I know Sunny would be the perfect lover  for Mr. Tigerli. Good luck!

Betty MacDonald in Washington State

Wenche:

Daniel & Betty MacDonald fans,

Betty MacDonald Fan Club Paralympics Meeting in London was outstanding.

Monica Sone Memorial was very touching.

By the way I wasn't familiar with the fact that Monica Sone has so many fans.

http://monicasone.blogspot.com

We miss our first Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Monica Sone so much because she was
so human, witty and wise.

http://funeralhomesweb.com/Wackerly_Funeral_Home/webcast/1553


Beloved Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member, writer and artist Letizia Mancino, so called 'italian Betty',  recently visited state of Washington.

http://letiziamancino.blogspot.com

We'd love to read about her Betty MacDonald journey.

Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen should be honored in Washington State.

I was very sad when I learned that Betty MacDonald's and Mary Bard Jensen's house near Roosevelt High School in Seattle has been demolished.

http://marybardsociety.blogspot.com

Is the DVD with Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel and Betty MacDonald's  sister Alison Bard Burnett visiting this house, already available?
The Wolfgang Hampel and Alison Bard Burnett DVD's are our favourites.
We are crazy about them. Both are so funny.

http://wolfganghampel.blogspot.com

http://alisonbard.blogspot.com

Betty MacDonald and Mary Bard Jensen should be honored.

Especially Betty MacDonald described region and nature in her unique books.

Many writers and artists came to Seattle and Washington after reading the books.

Greta and I did an extensive reserach about this subject.

You can read the amazing result in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter October.

We got a mail from a Betty MacDonald fan. She wants to see STOVE.
No problem! Visit this site, please and you can see Betty MacDonald's best friend STOVE and other historical photos:

What about our new famous Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member, Mr. Tigerli?

http://letiziamancino.wix.com/prettycat

We are visiting Mr. Tigerli's new website quiete often because Sunny fell madly in love with Mr. Tigerli.
I wonder whether Sunny has a chance. You have to know, Sunny is a lady.

Perhaps Letizia Mancino or Mr. Tigerli could send us an answer.

It's really urgent. Thank you so much.

By the way my Eurovision Song Contest favourite is Ukraine.
Ukraine, 12 points.
If I'm in a bad mood I'm listening to this song.

With much love and miiiiiiiiaaaaaaaauuuuuuuu

It's a sad day today.

First beloved Betty MacDonald Fan Club honor member Monica Sone passed away a year ago.

Monica Sone, author of Nisei Daughter and Betty MacDonald's friend, described as Kimi in Betty MacDonald's book THE PLAGUE AND I;  is unforgettable.

Betty MacDonald's sad experiences with a mouse

Lasse:

Greta, thank you so much for your congratulations.

I  was lucky indeed to win Betty MacDonald Fan Club Contest.

The answer was rather easy and many Betty MacDonald fan club fans around the world took part.

You can find the answer in Betty MacDonald's Onions in the Stew, Chapter IX, Other friends and enemies.

Betty MacDonald felt rather guilty when the little mouse died. Husband Donald MacDonald killed her with a trap. A rather sad story.

Letizia Mancino's mouse story is very witty and it even has a Happy End.

Greta, that's right. There is only one thing we dislike.

Our new Betty MacDonald fan club honor member, Mr. Tigerli should have a better lover than his current one.

There are really very important actions like FREE PUSSY RIOT and we support it very much.

There  should be also an action BETTER LOVER FOR MR: TIGERLI:

We hope Letizia Mancino and her husband enjoyed their stay in Washington State.
We can't wait to read about their experiences.
Thanks a lot.

Hi guys, I know you enjoy Paralympics in London very, very  much. I know you will rock London and I wished I could join you.

I got a mail from London that Ben found a very interesting copy of Mary Bard Jensen's book FORTY ODD. If you are lucky enough you can find the most important items.

Ben is writing a report for Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter.

Wolfgang Hampel will continue to delight Betty MacDonald fans around the world with his outstanding poems as he does with his unique Betty MacDonald interviews and biographies.

What about the new Eva Vargas project?

Wishing you the best,

Happy Lasse

Betty MacDonald Paralympics Meeting London 2012

Greta:

Hello folks,

I know you enjoyed Betty MacDonald Fan Club Olympic Meeting London 2012 very much.

I heard the DVD is outstanding.

Many greetings from Betty MacDonald Paralympics Meeting London 2012 - the greatest Paralympics ever.

It's such an unforgettable life experience to be here with several international Betty MacDonald fans.

You can read several reports about our meeting and activities in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter September. Don't miss it, please.

Lasse, congratulations for winning Betty MacDonald Fan Club Contest.

All our love to Letizia Mancino, Mary Holmes and Mr. Tigerli,  who deserves a better lover.
What a story and we enjoy the pictures so much.

We can't wait to read the new satirical poems by Wolfgang Hampel, who started Betty MacDonald Fan Club with four members.

We have members in 40 countries now and some of them joined us in London.

We all should support FREE PUSSY RIOT actions.
( see FREE PUSSY RIOT article in Betty MacDonald Fan Club Newsletter September 2012)

May the best win and believe me we have such a great time here in London.

Greta

Mr. Tigerli and Pussy Riot

Rano:

How are you, guys.

I'm fine. It's September, the sun is shining and I haves some great Betty MacDonald news for you.

Lasse is winner of Betty MacDonald Fan Club Contest.

He found the answer in Onions in the stew. 

Can you remember Betty MacDonald's experiences with a mouse?

More info during this week.

Letizia Mancino was visiting Washington State with her husband.

That's very good to hear and we hope Letizia Mancino is going to share some of her funny experiences with us.

Thanks a lot for creating the new Mr. Tigerli website.

I guess Mr. Tigerli has this special relationship because Letizia Mancino is much more interested in excellent art and literature.

Poor Mr. Tigerli. It's a shame, isn't it.

We should support the described  FREE PUSSY RIOT activities because these groups are very brave.
Send your feedback, please.
Thank you, guys.

Betty MacDonald Memorial Award winner Wolfgang Hampel is going to share some of his new very satirical poems.

Many Betty MacDonald fans enjoy them so much and asked for more.
