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".

Coming Home - Anita Holzberg



There is no pang
  arriving in San Francisco airport
     The shuffle to get off the plane
                a mad surge
   There was and always will be the pang
                 in my heart for New Jersey
After all I am a Jersey girl

            Had my druthers
                  I still be in the Garden State

            Coming home
                      my bed so wonderful
                          little Picchu comes in
                                a neighbor stops by
                             mail and packages
                                     how I love packages
                          the tote bags for the wedding arrived

               Coming home
                        Starbucks coffee
                              and daughter Em speaks
                                          Owen and I have a 15 minute
                                                   conversation
                                          the best ever!

                          Coming home
                                             the seeds of nature are calling
                                                       Sunnyvale
                                            my flowers blooming
                                                 I have walked the walk
                                               I have seen the faces and
                                                              heard their voices
                                            The conversation we had will last
                                                   for all eternity
                                                          I am back
                                               with a richness and blessing for Emily's wedding
                                                         back.
