Dear Vincent,/ C! M, i5 O6 @$ L1 T3 T9 E
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.2 v( O/ F9 v! o& G
