Oddly all four of the kids - except my baby brother who was killed by
his doctor in his 40s - are still around I'm 82, my sister is 80 and 
my remaining brother is 77. He's is the best condition of our little
group.

I'm not a huge fan of pickled eggs at any time. Around here they are
mostly bar food and eaten by those on the losing end of a bet. In a 
separate post I'll give you a Russian recipe that I have served at get
togethers. It's my idea of pickles and eggs.  Bv)=

      Title: Pickled Eggs
 Categories: Vegetables, Eggs, Snacks
      Yield: 6 servings
 
     15 oz Can small whole or sliced
           - beets; not pickled
      1 c  Distilled white vinegar
    1/3 c  Granulated sugar
      1 tb Kosher salt; more for
           - serving
      6 lg Hard-boiled eggs; peeled
      1 sm Shallot; thin sliced
      3 lg Dill sprigs; more for
           - serving (opt)
      1 ts Whole black peppercorns'
           - plus ground pepper for
           - serving
    1/4 ts Whole cloves (opt)
           Flaky salt; for serving
 
  Place a fine-mesh strainer over a large measuring cup or
  bowl. Drain beets; if needed, add enough water so the
  beet liquid reaches 1 cup (or pour off and discard any
  excess to reach this volume). Transfer the beet liquid
  to a small pot and stir in the vinegar, sugar and salt.
  Bring to a boil, uncovered, over high heat. Reduce heat
  to medium and simmer until sugar and salt are dissolved,
  stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat
  and cool in the pot for 30 minutes.
  
  In a large, wide-mouth glass canning jar (at least 36
  ounces), or similarly sized lidded glass vessel, layer
  peeled eggs with the beets, along with any combination
  shallot, dill, peppercorns and cloves, if using,
  alternating all of the ingredients. Once cooled, pour
  the pickling liquid on top and cover tightly with the
  lid. Pickle in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours
  and up to 1 week, then remove eggs and beets from the
  brine and store in the fridge for up to 1 week following
  the initial brine. (The color and flavor will deepen the
  longer the eggs pickle. For more even color, give the
  eggs a swirl once or twice during the first day of
  pickling.) To serve, halve and sprinkle with more dill,
  salt and pepper, if desired.
