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".

ESL At The Sauna - Anita Holzberg

At the sauna 24 hr. Fitness
A woman voiced her opinion
what is different than whole or all
Can you say whole people
whole day busy
Can you use all for the same things?

So difficult to explain
We sat there over 10 minutes
friend in the sauna heat
telling her what is right or wrong
frustrated she left

In the course of that
I remembered how difficult it was to teach
English to adults
I left that and found children twice as easy

In the course of that
the whole sauna helped her

We live in the multi cultural area
this is a multicultural world
even in the sauna.
