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".

For Nathan - by Anita

For Nathan:

I never met your Mom, but I have
In the conversations with you, she bloomed

I never met your Mom
Fiercely Independent

A Mother of mothers
A rose in your garden
It will ever flower
Making you the wonderful person you are
Your heritage blossoms like her and your day
A man among men
The fighter, the kindness, the generosity of spirit
  That all that you have now
And the generations that you nurture will
   Have this wonder, too

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
I cherish our friendship
