Thankyou! I just wrote it up! I had to take a break for lunch :) It delights to know you guys all help each other! Here in the midwest it is sometimes that way but often people go it alone without a nudge. I've seen elements of "Midwest nice," and elements of the individiualism that was the hallmark of where I grew on the East Coast. I love the opportunities we have wherever we are for people to come together! You're welcome for the shoutout! Hope the snow has found you by now and is magickal where you are!

Mmmm....when did you live in the Swiss Alps? I went whenI was five and a half! I still remember the goats and the flowers and trying to pee over a tough and the yummy bagettes and the chocolate yogurt in Zurich and visiting Jung's castle with my mom, who had failed to realize you needed written consent and was unwilling to sacrifice going on account of a technicality. The river was pretty and full of stones. The leaves were very pretty. But the alps chocolate yogurt and baguettes and the alps where better. Especially better than getting yelled at by Jung's descendents! Lol...

Oh dear! The Swiss can be quite pernickety about their rules... I lived in Switzerland from 1985 – 1989, first 2.5 years near the Lake of Thun, the rest in a Ski resort in Grisons, not far from Arosa, Davos, St. Moritz, that kind of area.

Heheh...regard for rules doesn't run in my family on my mothers side or my father's side. My grandmother married on the "wrong" side of the tracks - then got married a total of five times,once to the same person before deciding to settle in a wilderness home with her animals to write. My father married my mother who is a gentile...they were kind from opposite sides of the tracks too, but it was a minor point other than their disparate attitudes around money. My mother also lied and said the Muslim prayer to get into the Dome of the Rock because as a Sufi she felt her heart was Islamic but also that she didn't think Muhammed was the only prophet. Then there's me. There are a few rules I think make sense but they are not many and I can think of exceptions even to those :) I would make a terrible Swiss, but I got on fine there as a five year old, Jungian descendents yelling at me, standing alone by a stream, aside. I don't know why they would yell at a child instead of seeking the adult, though. I was quite small and clearly couldn't come on my own, afterall. I was there at the same time as you, since I was five and a half during that window you described! :)

I can definitely relate to that! I'm not good at 'being Swiss' either ;-( (despite having Swiss nationality – by past marriage)
