Between Friends: ONCE

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".

Once the moon was yellow and the sky dark

Once the family was here growing up

Once the cat was Misty and Ginger

Once the piano sang its Broadway songs

Once the day begins with memory

The night a curtain for tomorrow

I take these moments....sequences of silence

They grace my face

My wonder now is the present

My wonder now is the beating of the wind rain and shadow

My wonder is the rising sun as I greet each day

One step at a time.
