So glad you enjoyed this, Ange. I adore these two women … both fabulous, beautiful, and idolized, as different in their physical appearance as they were in their emotional makeup. Thanks very much for your excellent feedback! ☺️

You’re right about that great old classic by Frank …. it’s a beauty. My husband thinks I resemble Sophia Loren and will call me “Sophia” sometimes; I’m not going to argue with that! Thanks, my friend. 😊
