we have one of those gadgets. We bought an egg set in Germany. A soft boiled egg is put in an egg cup. This gadget is used to cut an opening in the top of the egg. Then the egg is eaten with a small egg spoon from the shell.

Thanks for sharing. My mom lacked the poetry gene and wrote administrative-sounding lists, but my dad left notes such as this one. What am I leaving? I need to give that some thought.

My mom certainly left her share of administrative-sounding lists as well! Probably why this one brought me so much joy. Best wishes to you, Nancy, as you consider creating a bit of poetry. :)

the gadget----is it for opening bottle caps? If you have enough gadgets, you could make a collage of them with answers on the back.

I love your mother's notes and I may be able to use that form to start my own memoir writing. I realize I have so many memories for all the many years I have lived---good and bad.

I also love the friend's panda---so sweet--I saw them in China. Cute and very wary of visitors.

My mom would be tickled to know her notes are inspiring others. Thank you, Carolann! Keep writing! ♥️

Good guess on the gadget, but no ... I'll share the answer soon 😉
