Ha, thank you! Yes, that photo—there were days of such intense heat in Rome this past summer that I often wanted to crawl into the fridge! And I certainly felt like that myself over this past few days in bed with the flu! 🤣❤️

Sheila what an amazing coincidence ! Today, with my flu as an unwelcome addition to lethal drones and rockets, I truly yearned for an honest to God chicken soup!! Eli’s version is more elaborate but just as easy. I will send you the details so you will not have an excuse for future ‘betrayals’ I LOOOOVE YOUR POV, YOUR WORDS, YOUR SOUL!!
