To Kathy and Bonnie, Thanks, both of you, for your prompt responses. Yes I do have a good picture I could post online, but I'm not sure how. Is it just a matter of attaching it to this email? It seems, from what you have both said, that the most likely translation will be along the lines of "Sad are those who are left behind" - or something similar. Thanks again - and if anyone can tell me how to post a picture online, I'd love to hear from you!
