Peeling Eggs Makes Me Smile

You may wonder how peeling the shells off eggs makes me smile...... but it does! I've been making egg salad sandwiches and smiling the whole time! While I am wrestling with the eggs trying to get the paper-thin shell to come off without removing too much egg....... I'm reminded of my dad. Whenever my dad would peel eggs it would kick him off into an hour long tangent.... ''Those stupid farmers! '' ''They are so greedy they give the chickens something to make them lay more eggs and it's making their shells so thin I can't remove it without losing half the egg! '' He would go on and on while we rolled our eyes and gave eachother ''the look''. ''Here he goes again! '' We learned to volunteer to peel the eggs just to avoid hearing the speech. Well, he's been gone for 12 yrs now........ What I wouldn't give to hear that speech again! I still hear him. Only now, I smile while I wrestle the shells off the eggs.
