Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,
their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in
June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing
the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann
liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and
Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,
the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog
site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK
(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the
computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share
yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

Anita's poem

In truth
the sea of humanity is vast
the olive branch is there
the infinite sense of community
rests on the shadow of time

In truth
finding friendship
in the path
where friendship is gone
is
a welcome fete

I lost my best friend
for whatever reason
he is gone
the life I had is gone

Tomato soup lunches
strawberry salads
strong coffee at dinner

all these things gone

the light from within ever forceful
the love for Jim from within.

Anita S. Holzberg
