@supermanmuseum I had an enchanted encounter with Mr. Dennis as Superman back in 2014. Read about it at "Stalking Superman." https://t.co/TlZpJAXjgl

Betty Rollin and I go way back, way, way back, to our days at the old Look magazine, where she was the big successful writer, and I was the clueless wannabe writer from Michigan.

I baked the plantain. Totally terrible results. Hard and flavorless, like eating a poker chip. https://t.co/gyvg7P4MTA

[Barbara F Newhall @BarbaraFNewhall]

Bought plantains by mistake. They are bitt er if not cooked. I will now bake them...see what happens. @ San Francisco Bay Area https://t.co/qRZjYVgL9t

There's a wild space tucked away in the hills of Oakland, California. Here's what's keeping it wild.

My Thanksgiving guests are here, and I've moved the big king bed into the guest room. Now I'm enjoying my parents' four poster. @ San Francisco Bay Area https://t.co/PVqYotRvPe

That wedding china? Those heirloom table lamps? That king-sized bed? I'm letting go of all that. I get to have it my way now.

I woke up the other morning and I heard Voltaire whispering in my ear -- "Let us tend our garden." And so I did. Link is in my bio. @ San Francisco Bay Area https://t.co/BiGBY2mQzq

[Barbara F Newhall @BarbaraFNewhall]

M. de Voltaire greeted me when I woke up the other morning, and "Let Us Tend Our Garden" became my mantra for the day.

My husband's recumbent bike, it's a great way to get some exercise on a rainy day. But I can't go near it without feeling the loss of him -- all over again.

I write about Jon. I tell stories about Jon. But none of it ever seems to capture his essence. @ San Francisco Bay Area https://t.co/QvVABQ4AnH

[Barbara F Newhall @BarbaraFNewhall]

God and my late husband have this in common -- you can tell stories about them, but you can't really capture their essence in words.
