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 am the rose of roses
  picked very young
     5 lbs. at birth
I am the rose of roses
  kindergarten at age 4
married at 23
    divorced at 46

I am the rose of roses
  carried 2 daughters in my womb
       cared for a family
          that all bloomed

I am the rose of roses
   After work, still working
           I teach the young people
                I stand my my man
                   seated in my garden

I am the rose of roses.
