Yesterday was a good day! The sun was shining; the temperatures were warm. It actually looked and felt like spring all day long, which has been a rare thing around here lately. I had a nice lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. Being a winter hermit had a lot to do with that!! My husband took me out for dinner. Which means I didn't have to cook! I made good food choices all day, so I'm proud of myself for that. And I did a little shopping! Definitely a good day!
One of my favorite board games when I was a little girl was a game called "Uncle Wiggly". Uncle Wiggly is a rabbit (the box describes him as a rabbit gentleman!!) who travels from his bungalow home all the way to Dr. Possum's house. Along the way he meets many friends, among them Billy Bushtail and the Cluck-Cluck Hen. He also encounters the sneaky Skeezicks and the Skillery Scallery Alligator!
I was so excited last fall when I discovered that this game had been released again to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Uncle Wiggly. I went into Monkey Business, our local toy store, and purchased my very own Uncle Wiggly game, since the one I played with as a child is now long gone. When all the family was here for Christmas, we played Uncle Wiggly together. I loved sharing something that was so special to me with my grandsons!
Yesterday I went back to Monkey Business and purchased two more Uncle Wiggly board games......one for AJ and one for Christopher. And so the Uncle Wiggly tradition continues!!
