Dear Vincent,
8 c1 t( _( m, E2 pI 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.7 L' F3 [+ Z8 A/ z3 H' Z
