Wolfgang Hampel - and Betty MacDonald fan club fans,

Greta and her Betty MacDonald fan club team are still working on Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter April.

Be a bit patient, please.

Because of Betty MacDonald's and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's birthday activities Greta and her team are really very busy.

A new Betty MacDonald and Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle birthday DVD  with many fascinating info on Wolfgang Hampel's updated Betty MacDonald biography and many other info and interviews will be available very soon.

We got a message from Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Letizia Mancino:

Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli’s favourite song for the Eurovision Song Contest is “Grande Amore”. 

It is about a Great Love and after all he is a Casanova  so that’s not surprising! 

By the way Mr. Tigerli  can vote for Italy because he is a German. 

Love,

Letizia Mancino

Speaking of Mr.  Tigerli's ESC votes could we have your votes, please?

Thanks a million for your outstanding support!


We already got many votes for ESC 2015 and are going to publish a current Betty MacDonald fan club ESC TOP 10 in alphabetical order very soon.

Which song is our most popular Eurovision Song Contest winner ever?

Our 4th most popular ESC winner song ever is my Nr. 1

Enjoy the love poem by Berthold Brecht.

Don't miss the new breakfast at the bookstore with Brad and Nick.

We are looking for a very famous actor and singer who celebrated birthday some days ago.

This beloved personality seems to be forever young. 

Hurry up, please.


If you know the name of this excellent actor and singer send us a mail please during Monday.

You can win a delightful Betty MacDonald fan club Easter surprise. 

Good luck!


Have a very nice Tuesday,

Yours,

Lotta

              The Egg and I by Betty MacDonald

". . .I realized why it is so much easier for a man to adjust himself to new surroundings and people than for a woman. Men are so much less demanding in friendship. A woman wants her friends to be perfect. She sets a pattern, usually a reasonable facsimile of herself, lays a friend out on this pattern and worries and prods at any little qualities which do not coincide with her own image. She simply won't be bothered with anything less than ninety per cent congruity, and will accept the ninety per cent only if the other ten per cent is shaping up nicely and promises accurate conformity within a short time. Friends with glaring lumps or unsmoothable rough places are cast off like ill-fitting garments, and even if this means that the woman has no friends at all, she seems happier than with some imperfect being for whom she would have to make allowances. A man has a friend, period. He acquires this particular friend because they both like to hunt ducks. The fact that the friend discourses entirely in four-letter words, very seldom washes, chews tobacco and spits and random, is drunk a good deal of the time and hates women, in no way affects the friendship. If the man notices these flaws in the perfection of his friend, he notices them casually as he does his friend's height, the color of his eyes, the width of his shoulders; and the friendship continues at an even temperature for years and years and years."

sooooo much truth, it's killing me
not only do I love this book and this writer because she is real and honest, but also because she can be asolutely hilarious when writing about things that were really hard for her.
and.... she wrote some books that were part of my favorite list as a child... Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle anyone??
