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 Side Stepping - Anita Holzberg

In the side stepping
   of time
the visions I saw will
  stay recorded
      in memory


In side stepping
  I can take away
      the beauty of the moment
    for beauty transcends like
        the rose
             that fades
                    her perfection
                a recollection
                     stays


Emily in her wedding gown
    exuberant and elegant
       like the scene we saw
             a dramatic cliff 
                   then the ocean swells


                      there is peace too
                                  in that moment.
Amen.
