Ding Dong The Iron is Dead!

The news we have all been awaiting was announced and I must admit that I am a little sad about the death of an ironcon icon.   Yes, the Monopoly piece formerly known as “the iron” is now a thing of the past.  The voting is in and if you were out of the loop the following picture shows the different options that were proposed and voted on.

And the winner is …….the cat!!!

I guess out of the choices that would be my pick as I am sure it is many of yours but I must say that I am a little bit sad that the piece that I usually got stuck with ended up with as a child is now going to be eliminated from the popular board game.   I think it is definitely a sign of the times.  The iron is a thing of the past.  At least for some.  If you remember my post of a few weeks ago you know that it is still a very big part of my life (Click here to read my tale of ironing)

Change is difficult at times and I guess I will have to embrace it in this case.    I am just a little worried there will be a lot of cat and dog fights on the board from now on out.

Make sure you check out my blog next Monday—it is time for a give away!!!!

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
