Joggly Board. Know what it was and is?


If your ancestry extends into the South, then perhaps you'll recognize a joggly board. It looks like a bench but see the rocker legs? You sit on the top and "joggle" or bounce up and down. Can do it alone or with others, depending on the length of the board. 

I first learned about joggly boards when we lived in Charleston, South Carolina, in the 1960s. Seems every front porch had one of these. And believe me, they were FUN to use.

I want hubby to build one for our great-grandchildren; there are all sorts of plans available on the Internet. Just ask Grandma Google. 

And as you "joggle" think of your Southern ancestors doing the same thing. And laughing.
