Dear Vincent,. k3 u: T; i6 N- b
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.; E' ~/ C4 N5 \/ B+ F4 X
