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".

SAID - Anita Holzberg


Said
we wanted
  green peace
and tapioca pudding
and Mars candy bars

Said
 we wanted
    colored rainbows
and jelly beaned grandchildren
and mustard hamburgers

And we got 
just that
a wind struct summer
baked potatoes
corn hanging on the cob

and we got 
  streaming flags
and 4th of July sunsets

we got all that
and then, 
some.
