It’s that time of year again! Time to plan your trip “over the river and through the wood.” That’s how the song goes, right? Grandma is not the same cuddly little old lady with sugar topped sugar cookies like when you were a child. Now she is active, funny, and looking for fun things to do with the kids.
In the car or at Grandma’s house cribbage boards are a hit. Grandma most assuredly knows how to play cribbage. It’s been around since the 17th century. And even Grandma is not THAT old. If you visit www.cribbagesupply.com right away and order a travel cribbage board then you’ll be all set for that long and torturous drive. The kids will have something to do and before their first “Are we there yet?!?” you’ll be pulling into Grandma’s drive. Since you got a travel kit, all the pegs and cards go securely into the hidden compartment so they don’t get lost.
Now while everyone is visiting with Grandpa, the kids can entertain Grandma with their skills at cribbage. I am not sure that you will be able to stop at buying one when you see the huge selection of cribbage boards that are for sale online at Cribbage Supply’s web site. You might want to just pick up another one and give it to Grandma and Grandpa while you are at it.
When you hand over your gift, preferably after Grandpa has told his story of the “Great war,” you can tell him that your gift to him was made in the good ol’ US of A. He’ll be thrilled to hear you’ve bought American. Then, once he gets over that happy thought you can make him smile again because you can tell him that when you got it, your purchase proceeds supported local disabled veterans. His eyes may tear up from joy upon hearing this.
Be sure, though, that you don’t tell him you got the cribbage boards on sale for 40% off unless he’s in the market, of course. Then it’s fair game. Cribbage is timeless, clean fun. Anyone can play the game if they can count to 29, and even if they cannot, someone will know how to and can help them out.
Go on to Grandma’s bearing fun gifts of family entertainment. You’ll be glad you did.
