Dear Vincent,
2 d' M& I/ z) f( n3 x- ZI 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.( o6 [8 J* x8 H+ f9 t/ `! T3 s! `
