Dear Vincent,( e$ q* p; |2 y& G8 L5 K- \/ U0 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.. A! N4 G8 e# ^( A4 J
