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".

And there was Jewelry... Anita Holzberg


Trying on the jewels


      Spread out they were
              my jewels
                  pearl collar,
                        earrings of silver,
                            a bracelet vintage of rust and gold


                      There they were
                               just asking to be worn


                                my friend Carol came down
                   with her own collection
                                  sparkles and bling in a plastic bag
                                           (just in case)


                    With careful trying on
                                     the jewelry sorted itself out
                                         brass gold tone necklace 
                                                 brass gold tone and silver earrings
                                                              a smoky topaz ring


                                           a Mother of the Bride's statement
                                             for her daughter
                                                 
          For the jewelry maven,
               it does not get any better than this!
