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".

In Due Time - Anita Holzberg


In due time
  the flowers will hold up their heads
    the double rose will bloom on my rose tree
      the quietness in which this house breathes
                 will hum to me
        In dew time
                rain will fall
                     seasons will end
                         newness will begin


Milestones teach us to be mindful
    For this is a wedding of hearts melting
           families blending
                  love conquering 
                     glasses clinking
                         everyone singing


In the end
            I will have ridden the crest of a happy month
                         of Sundays
              Stood by
                       at the gate
                             keeping watch.
                                    over my daughter
                                             as she starts with Jamie
                                                 her new life
                             (  Mine, too.)
