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".

Anita - A poem

In the o p e n  spaces
  time does not trod on my feet
     the birthday of the mind
         revisits the scene of joy
              
                         nothing can take away
                                what I experienced
                           what I learned by staying true to the moment


Birds fly by
 Infinite freedom  persists in my life
     the road to happiness is the
               inward hum


              I pick up the flowers
                fallen off their stem
                      on a dining room table
                             my wedding flowers
                                          I put them in a box
                                                     hoping they will dry
                                                  age beautifully
                                        like the moment in time when 
                                                  Emily met her beloved.
