Dear Vincent,1 Z8 \! \1 L9 z0 [4 t% Y
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." A1 D+ J$ M* \' @
