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".

A Knock at the Door - Anita Holzberg

It is the New Year
I rise, feed Picchu
Make the coffee


About 2 or so, there is
a Knock at the door


Familiar faces
Bill comes in and Ginny too
Together we have a tea party
   of jasmine and Camomille tea
with wheat toast and apricot jam


Bill brings a book about New Jersey
The sun is streaming in
My house has come alive
Good friends, good conversation,
Good food
To start the New Year
I toast them and all who come to 
my table
To liven up this ole house and bring
the gift of friendship
warm fuzzies for my heart.
Now, I can start the New Year!

Anita S. Holzberg
