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".

Summertime at the Pool - Anita Holzberg

Watch the wind fluttering over the pool
I do my walks
the water flows between my toes
the sun touches my shoulders
I meet a woman in her 80's from Leeds
with her walker
she kicks and walks like me
her left leg not working
just like me
we walk past one another
and talk
It is noon time
the pool is quiet
She greets me every time
I will return
my body relaxed in
the ripple of the water
I go up the steps
the pavement hot
I take my cane
move forward
Life is about moving forward
Is it not?
