Dear Vincent,- M/ K1 b& ]) f- k& r
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.% Q9 @' ]7 M$ [% q+ ^! v" R0 V# U
