[Woodcarver] Whatyadoing?

[Sally Nye]

Hi Donna,
You are a very sweet person to make such a generous offer.  Thank you  
so much!  Actually, it is more sentence structure that we think about  
& how that would translate (as well as a word).  All of our documents  
are translated.  But, in our writing, we must be aware of the  
"style."  For example, when approaching a person along a sidewalk, in  
English we say, "I met Sally in town today."  A European would say,  
"Today, in town, I came against Sally ."  Or (English) "I lost my car  
keys."  European, "My auto keys went missing."   So when we think of  
how it would sound to them, it makes a difference.

David and I feel that we simply the keeper of the archives.  This is  
nothing to do with us personally.  We are passionate about preserving  
tradition with meaning.

Thanks again,
Sally
