Between Friends: Exercise Class

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".

marching in exercise class

exuding a dance, a squeeze of the chest

how I just take this for granted

Since October, twice a week............no matter how

I feel I am there

Rigorous it is not

I barely make the cut with the bulk being mid 70's and '80

they are more adept than I

Rapid river grunt

its exercise class and the laughing is done with a kind

exercise teacher

who gives us health tidbits along the way

coctails to continue

no matter the weather, mood, or tempo.
