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".

Still Another Day - Anita Holzberg

The rain bucketed down
in the morning hours
I chose to ride to the hospital
31 days
I marched to Intensive Care
like a soldier

31 days I repositioned who I am
who you are too

The rain bucked down today
my heart rode to Santa Clara

still attached

I met Max for the 3rd time
We exchanged hospital war stories
We were fast friends
and see the patient


waiting around
the clock to go in again

under the likely care and feeding
of a nurse
who did her thing
While I waited like a suspended toe dancer
in the wings.
