Between Friends: Recolor your life

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".

If we could recolor our lives

I would start out in orange and go to green

I would reinvent my many loves

I would stand at another beach and watch

the waves of my childhood

I would sell my soul to the highest bidder

I would play mahjong til dusk

I would enjoy my sunset years

I would never speak the word, "old"

I would cherish friends as family

I would redecorate my soul

I would find happiness in every day

I would embrace memory and the present

I would breathe freely

This I hope for my dearest friends.
