Dear Vincent,3 R3 l* g5 P8 n
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./ s* |$ A: J0 [! M# J
