Dear Vincent,
. j# b6 x j Q! F7 R9 }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.: N* f4 | T: o% O, o" I: A; i
