On the Joggling Board trail

Parcel 32, King St., Charleston, SC 

I used to document all the joggling boards I came across in my wanderings but haven't posted one for awhile. This one is in front of the recently opened Parcel 32 restaurant on King St. They always tempt me to sit and joggle a bit!

Get your joggle on!

I introduced a young lady from Minnesota to a joggling board this evening and she started laughing with joy as we bounced. It wasn't this one. We had enjoyed dinner at HUSK restaurant and they have two fine joggling boards on the piazza. Isn't this a lovely one, though, in green that matches the shutters?

Flu count - everyone still healthy I hope?! Every day we wake up without the flu is a good day.

I haven't added to my joggling board sightings recently so here are a couple of shots to start the morning. This joggling board is on the grounds of Hopsewee Plantation up the coast from Charleston on the way to Georgetown.

A joggling or jostling board is a long, pliable board that is supported on each end by wooden stands. The board is springy and a person sitting on it can easily bounce up and down. Sources differ on the origination; its usage in the Lowcountry of South Carolina around Charleston in the early 19th century is however rather well-documented. Traditionally, it is painted Charleston green. The joggling board's popularity has slowly been coming back, mostly as decorations on lawns and front porches.

I found a couple more Joggling Boards for my collection. Soon I'll have tracked them all down!

Psssst....if you are looking for one, I found Island Time Joggling Boards to have the best prices.

A joggling board sighting for Waldo who has fond memories of them.

I lead so many people to the Old Charleston Joggling Board site that I should get a cut!  Check out this link with more joggling board history and this grand old photo:

It's tradition. Whenever I see a Joggling Board, I say, "Oh, oh! I must take a picture for Waldo!"

My kids are grown and I have to admit I buy toys for myself. I need a gigglator voice changer and so do you.

Thanks to Frank of Tampa Daily Photo for his vote of confidence!

Mustang Rolling surrendered too soon - to a fake cop.

If Miss Cellania marries her sweetheart (Congrats!) do we need to call her Mrs Cellania?

Every once and awhile I have to check and see what is happening in the other Charleston. I used to live there as well.
