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".

Wedding Images - Anita Holzberg

Wrapped in linen
  they came
        gifts by the dozens
            beige and Pink with a tinge of blue
               
Staged in the wings
       birds of dove origins
           shadows of another life
               I live this one now


Forces of time unite
       take me to this day
           where families take president
                   in the couple's eyes and hearts


 I march down the aisle with my daughter
     a flowing  wedding gown 
          the proudest moment of my life


     Rounding the corner of time
        we made it
               mother and daughter together
                     on the same page
              just in time
                     to enjoy your wedding plans
                    just in time
                             to live your dream


           Jamie awaits
 tears in his eyes
             at the vision of you
                in that moment
                         sky and clouds mix
                            the wind does not stir
                                 a perfect image
                                   beyond the photograph.
