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".

Choices - Anita Holzberg 

I will make a table for myself

  ripe red raspberries
         mixed with strawberries

They will dance on the oak table
       before eaten

I will make a choice for eternity
  cleaner water for a cleaner world
  eye surgery for Tibetans with cataracts
  splints for broken limbs and hearts in
          Haiti

I will take the stance
   that good nutrition can heal
     that poetry once said
          opens my world
                   and yours, too.

I will drink green tea
   and think of a green world for 
        you and me.
