Between Friends: Cafe Longhorn

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".

Across the street from Farm Stand

Cherries $1.99

I order a grilled cheese on rye

fans blowing

too hot to cook

Large tomatoes and pickles

in a salad

Memories dance at this table

We came here

You & I

A beer and steak sandwich

french fries crisp

Laughter --straight talk--comeraderie

Today,

You a distant wave

at the nursing home

Yet still, a Thank you and a Kiss.

I continue to walk the walk for you,

"Yes, I do."
