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".

JIM - by Anita Holzberg

Doors open
  sprinklers start my day
         their sound resound
              in my yard
 Picchu comes in from the cold


         Autumn days are here
           crisp cool mornings and evenings
                     the Harvest Moon
                            shines


   In the interim peace is where I find it
         in a piece of music
               singing a song 
                       baking brownies
                           dancing around in my kitchen.
                                 


                        I've walked these mean streets
                                   attentive to time and place
                                         the fog of so many years lifts.


What is about change?
                    the paths unknown
                           the paths unknown for my beloved
                                 I will learn once again
                                      how to sing, not just mouthing
                                                  the words.


                                    steps
                                       I walk with my walker
                                             in the path of righteousness
                                                    the good acts
                                                             in the forefront
                                                    the vested interest in You.
                                                          You feel my presence
                                                              in your every day
                                                                    I feel you still here 
                                                                               in my life
                                                                 like fresh salt
                                                                              on a Margarita.

                                            .
