I made the most delicious hard boiled eggs. View pix below.
First I studied the way the two hard boiled eggs looked.
I boiled two eggs for 20 minutes.
Then I let them sit for anudder 20 minutes.
They peeled PERFECTLY.
Mashed them with Hellmann's Mayo, salt and paprika,
Seriously what could be more delicious!
Had an idea for my first story with the Times Kron. Am waiting to hear from the Editor.

Had a good workout at Willow Grove Physical Therapy.
Good? Really hard. Shannon was my excellent PT.
I did get dizzy - vertigo she calls it - so we did exercises for dat.
She watches my eyes to see if they keep blinking. Not bad, she said. After the exercises, I wasn't dizzy atall.
Called Mom today. My friend Fran Hazam said friends of hers come over and play silly games. Suggested we do dat at Mom's on Sunday.
Finished egg salad, seasoned with salt and paprika. This is Helene's former bowl. I write her frequently.
POEM:
Helene, if only you and I were at Bauman Drive in Maple Glen, PA,
Aaron at the kitchen table with his jigsaws
Pick out a coffee cup, you'd say, and with a jaunt
I pick something nifty
Can you hear the coffee splash into the cup?
Eggs for breakfast, my favorite, Davey Ire Pancakes
baked in the oven.
Life's coming to an end, you in your 90s,
Aaron already gone, your three kids too
Memories stand out in photos
Enjoy the books you read at your
old ladies' home and remember me and my
mom, if you please.
