Bill, How the world was used? It could have a bit different meaning It could be: Pozostajemy w domu - we stay at home - I mean e.g. we have considered to go out but finnally we deceided to stay (current situation). Pozostajemy (jestesmy) w kontakcie - we stay in touch Pozostajemy wierni tradycji - it means that in the past our behavior was traditional and it is still today - we have not changed it. 'We are' is closer to polish 'jestesmy'. 'Jestesmy' is just for current situation, 'pozostajemy' is in my opinion similar to Present perfect usuage - we 'were' in the past and we still are.

Bogdan, Thanks for your reply. I now understand that the sender was saying he was still hopeful that I would visit in the spring
