Dear Vincent,
, I* I( B6 d0 C; L- ^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.( [5 ]3 G% @& s9 M% S& X3 f
