"A Vexing ____! What Would You Do?" Topic

Here's what I did, I imagineered using existing collections for a new time period.

The story is told by briefly captioned photos and a quote from Donald Featherstone here: link

What would you do?
What have you done when attacked by illness?

Respectfully,
Bill P.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

The Land of Counterpane
by Robert Louis Stevenson

When I was sick and lay a-bed,
I had two pillows at my head,
And all my toys beside me lay,
To keep me happy all the day.

And sometimes for an hour or so
I watched my leaden soldiers go,
With different uniforms and drills,
Among the bed-clothes, through the hills;

And sometimes sent my ships in fleets
All up and down among the sheets;
Or brought my trees and houses out,
And planted cities all about.

I was the giant great and still
That sits upon the pillow-hill,
And sees before him, dale and plain,
The pleasant land of counterpane.

Get well soon.

BIG RED, I am feeling better but not 100%.I should go back to the Agency tomorrow.

AICUSV, The Land of Counterpane. I forgot about it till you provided it above. Thank you. A fond memory. I read it to my wife who liked it too.

My family's association with toy soldiers goes back to 1914. I'm a third generation. Counterpane has always had a special place in our family.

Glad your feeling better.

ge2002Bill:
It goes without saying that I am glad your condition improves however, I would be remiss if I did not admit to you that my good wishes are tainted with some degree of pure selfishness as I am eagerly anticipating the further adventures of that intrepid adventurer and military madcap, General Pettygree.

AICVU: I had not seen The Land of Counterpane before.

Thanks to both of you, John Miller
