Between Friends: Looking Out

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".

Looking out the rain has finally come

Mocha and me watch it fall

Picchu scurries under the deck

My two cats safe and secure

No amount of loving can bring back what was

I start my day with renewed hope

Hope to win the lottery or write a good poem

or just be with my almond milk piping hot with

a cup of coffee

Just being is an art in itself

I listen to the leaves rattle

I hear the sing song of the radio

The whish of a hot shower

The whirl of the hair dryer

As being is a simple, yet complicated task

Oh, the door bell. Aya with my soup

I sit and chat while Mocha finds her

as wonderful as I do.

Another day starts

Goodness is bestowed

I salute her!
