Dear Vincent,. |1 q' E) h* z: w
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.. q, `, N" d& ]$ }+ U, e; d6 k
