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".

Riding Out the Tide - Anita Holzberg

Riding out the tide,
  Saturday dusk is almost here
       4:30 now
   the shadows come in, the fog too
Northern California is having a dry spell
   Rainy season has not started
          over hither and yon
              a rabbit hops in open sky
                 a black and white cat lingers at the door
                              more food in the offing
            I take in all that I have experienced
                      no pain in my knees now
                            a clear shot to heaven
                       written in one of my poems
                             a few years hence
                   optimism reigns
                            presents wrapped
                                piano sings
                                   unto thee
                             and all who walk with me
                                       on my path.

Amen....
