Dear Vincent,7 T. W) M, S b, F. O/ 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.+ ?: D3 } N/ t) f% j! Y! U
