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".

Looking Back.. - Anita Holzberg

In the rampant rivers
that we call home
In the scrapbooks and photo books
I find myself
the mirror of the mind comes back
my childhood
in a wool poncho
on the back porch
watering pansies
feeding a bunny
a pet turtle walks
rainy summer days
our tomato stand
I pick the roses today on my walk
it all comes back
hits me in the face
like a pine cone
that finds me
as quiet rain.
