The fact that I adored Marlo Thomas as ‘That Girl’ has me tickled this morning. Wasn’t she just too cute? YOU my dear Alys are charming, special to me and truly one-of-a-kind. It was a pleasure to plan and make it with this in mind and heart. I remember reading your ‘If I Was Queen For A Day’ and marvelled. I was thinking how the world needs a million ‘Alys bots’ stat. You are a beautiful, caring soul and I cherish you every day! xoxK/P/B 😀
