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 Summer - Anita Holzberg 

In Summer
  I will see you in my yard
       In Summer we will sit on the patio
           as the frogs and infinite creatures watch

     In Summer
          we will barbecue corn wrapped in husks
                 and take out work gloves to get them
                          off the grill

     In Summer
           we will wear shorts and sleeveless tops
                and talk until it gets dark

                   In Summer a chicken dinner
            before us

All those days are gone
           I still have the gloves
                 I still have the memories

           Its Winter now
      don't know what Summer holds

Sweet dreams cover my heart
       a precious box of memories
           pervades my soul.

Love walks on many paths
        You are here on mine.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
