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".

On This Day - Anita

On this day
I repent not
I wallow not in pity
I pass on negative thoughts

On this day
I follow the lead of my cat
Looking for her patting
Purring with gratitude
Waiting to be fed

On this day
I take a simple life
read "Under the Wide and Starry Sky:
About the life of Robert Louis Stevenson
and his wife Fanny
I read til the cows come home
I do my taxes
I make amends to sky

On this day
I rotate my tires
I eat a fig bar
I simply look at my garden
My geraniums are blooming
The sky is clear
The day is brimming with good ideas
It's going to be a great day!!

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
