Dear Vincent,# Z: l1 b1 P5 J/ @' z
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.2 H5 w8 q# ~+ M6 h# M
