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".

Toasty shower poem - Anita Holzberg

In this cool February morning
  toasty shower 
    warms up my bones
my skin glistens like hot oatmeal
     in a warm rainstorm
Oh, how comforting is that
     lotion comes on next
as I wrap my towel around me
    so pleased
      water again is my savior
as it always is
        fresh and scented
I emerge, I glow at the start of
        my day.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
