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".

I Will always Remember - Anita Holzberg

I will always remember
  the den
        the two lounge chairs

I will remember the caregivers from
  Ghana
     bright pretty nurturing women

I will remember you looking at me
    as I walked into the room
            your eyes shining

What is it about New Jersey?
   My culture is here
      I walk back and it is so familiar

My cousin Joanna laughs
  Abe finds her fat free and gluten free

Comments around a glass table
   3 film makers and a poet

I will always remember Uncle Nate's good bye
  His blessing for Emily and our family

I will be more grounded after this visit
  Coming home
          the world opens up
              the day ends
Your faces close to my heart
               for my entire life
A lifetime of loving
               I made the trip to tap into this energy
                             this love.
