Dear Vincent,. N3 u5 k) F5 V. 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./ ?/ I: E! k' x$ L7 `
