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".

A Night Time activity - Anita

Hither and Yon
I take this time to remember
how we used to be

6:30 TV News
lamb chops and asparagus
baked potato
vanilla ice cream

a sit by the den
real coffee

I take this time to thank you
for all those evenings
as clear as silk
as love walked in
and drew a circle around us
we knew it was special
we really did.

In the interim
I keep the fires burning
the hope alive
that someday we will be together
in this fashion
holding hands
in my den
watching the news
NCSI
and just being
in the scheme of time.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
