Dear Vincent,! L6 J o+ V9 E! E" r# C! t. I8 U/ U/ t, m
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.$ z* P' v' d. G9 U$ u8 c* ?
