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".

Seated Here - Anita Holzberg



This poem was first in a film about Aunt Bern's life and love of fashion -




Seated here 
  You in your rose sweater set
Your Bernice smile
   Hair shining


I will remember these moments
  when I poured my heart out to you
   And you listened.


My parents long gone over 20 years
You and Uncle Nate
A gem in my life
Sparkling for all eternity


Uncle Nate
Talking quickly
Hesitating as his mind ahead of his speech
A quick mind and full heart


Coming home
  it's always wonderful
Coming home


Plafskys are warm and fun loving
This is as true as the rose is red
As the sun is up in the sky
As the mountains encompass the horizon


True blue family
Doesn't get any greater than this!

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
