Dear Vincent,( a2 d6 X" i: L5 z8 U9 x% q
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.3 W2 W! j2 S Z6 l3 |. Q
