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".

The Lesson - Anita Holzberg 

Waking
  the leaves wet
     rain enters the garden
 all chairs wet
     the barbecue before the season's
         start shiny black with rain

                In the waking
yesterday's visit of Debbie and Sarah
   while Misaki did her drawing
         in her lesson
    Sarah's golden locks shorter
       as she gave to Locks of Love
             her face shining in
               her new sporty hair do

         Misaski brings her drawing
          over for all to see
                happy sun and happy clouds
            frame a Peter Cottontail

Suddenly, my student and friends are together
          In that moment
I became higher than a kite
  never coming down as I resumed the lesson
          Sarah and her Mom leave
                Misaki does her phonics
                        and writing

          another day in the house
                this one refreshing!
