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".

Countdown - Anita Holzberg


Countdown
  til the wedding weekend
     2 days
 whirlwind of emotions
     clean the house
          press the clothes
    pack
         run to the store and back
and pack some more
        presents for owen and new granddaughter
            don't forget to clean the steamer
                      streams of consciousness
                 family members of the past emerge
                      my father and mother present
                          I will carry my mother's purse
                                                 wear my aunt's
                                    earrings
                             take a camera for all the events
                                  a portable electric toothbrush
                                          smiles are important
                                             white ones.
                                       on this your wedding day,
                                              dear Em.
