Between Friends: In the Scheme of Things

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".

In the scheme of things

wedding plans refine themselves

the time is approaching

the bride is more beautiful than imagined

her brightness about the life she leads

comes in

in her every move

kindness is the characteristic

kindness flows like the river right

the river white

comes in in these days

I touch a leaf

I pinch myself a little

this is the bliss

mother and daughter listening to each other

this is what I always wanted

I did want to be involved in this wedding

I am the mother of all mothers

doing what mothers do

standing by
