Dear Vincent,' f% F1 d( h& q- X D8 h
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.+ U* q; U- H8 V! B+ F, Z
