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".

Thoughts - by Anita

riding into day
  no daylight yet
I get a hop skip and a jump on the day
My Mocha by my side
A cup of hazelnut coffee
Songs of yesteryear
My birthday is almost here
I can feel the excitement
24 long stemmed red roses grace my table
from my neighbor and friend
love is everywhere
Can you hear it, feel it ?
I cut the stems
I put them in a bag
The beauty of moments like these
When silence is so sweet
Amen!
from Ann :)

Welcome by Anita

A white orchid blooming in my living room
  The flowers all 7 of them take over a table
A tree planted itself with white flowers
A cloud rolls over in its white and grey tinge
We can paint pictures of our surroundings
As they float by
The mind notices their beauty
Welcome home.
Have a colorful day!

In the Process - Anita Holzberg



As the sun covers
  I walk 300 steps
Mocha on the path with me
I open doors with my mind
Think of dancing, walking downtown in Palo Alto,
   walking to my far corner
Promises and dreams count
I begin my day 
Always looking forward
A robin on my shoulder.
