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".

Poetry is my life - Anita Holzberg

Poetry is my life


   fragrant rose at dawn


     I am not forlorn


  When I am writing 


     the words
         
          drop

     as petals
     
     on firm ground.

Thanksgiving 2011 - Anita holzberg

It is Thanksgiving.  A wonderful holiday In America.
We gather our families together and eat roasted turkey, stuffing made with 
mushrooms, wild rice, and
bread chunks, green beans, a salad, sweet potatoes and marshmallows, and of 
course pumpkin pie.
We each say what we are thankful for.  This year dear readers, I am thankful for 


my new knee that is
allowing me to stand tall again and walk better. I am thankful for all my 
friends and family that have
rallied around me before and after my surgery.  I am thankful for Ann Wainwright 


from England and
all the fun things we share!!!

I Am Home - Anita Holzberg

  I am home
   Hazel nut coffee brewing
       geraniums blooming
             I walked through my front door
                   wonders never cease!

In This Morning - Anita Holzberg

In this morning
 Picchu running around the house
     silence at every door step
        random thoughts about living and dying
               come across
          adrenalin flowing through my veins
sometimes I can not contain myself
   sometimes solid as a rock
        need to get clothes together
             pack for two weeks
                 if go to a Care facility
            random thoughts about
                who I really care for


     In this early morning frenzy
             life will be different
                 new knee
                     new lease on life
                        starting tomorrow.
              G-d speed!
