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".

So I close the Book - Reflections before the Wedding


So I close the book
   open a door
      feel the cool air streaming


So I close the book
   not look back
       how hard is that?


Expectations can kill


Life lessons learned


   I heard a bird sing
         my Picchu cat came in from the cold
                     Leaves fall in the garden
                             a fountain floats 
                                   paper ships ride by
                                         with notices of promise.
