Dear Vincent,: [( O/ @; w7 x$ t5 r% W" t
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.+ j: h0 F: k) n1 q# r4 Q7 f
