Once a year I get sick, drop ten pounds and take two weeks to recover. The sickness is actually not the worst type. It’s mostly a sudden loss of appetite, chills accompanied by fever and the feeling that my heart will explode from my chest if I take one more step. To me it sounds like a flu, but others always insist it’s not the flu. I don’t know why they care if I call it the flu or not, but I get this every year.
This year it’s lasted an extra few days which has interfered with my blog writing. My fingers are giving out as I w r i t e t h i s . . .
So I thought I’d just share a few bedrooms from Robert Todd Lincoln’s summer home Hildene. They’d be perfect for a sick day. Can you find the servant’s bedroom?

PS-The servant’s room is definitely the last one. It’s actually a lovely space, but the bed is a dead giveaway. It’s made for someone who can’t linger in bed of a morning…

Thanks! Yes, I like the space as well. Even the little quilt etc. It’s actually bigger than most of the bedrooms I’ve had. 🙂 Cute new gravatar!

I’d be perfectly happy in that room, quilt included, except for that mattress!
Thanks. That is a really recent photo of me.

Thanks, I’m on the mend. My husband was getting worried that I had meningitis because a neighbor got it one year from a tick and I’m always out in the woods. I think I’m okay 🙂
