Smokin'

 Well, Walmart did have plenty of cream cheese............

I helped with the unpackaging and loading the grill.  It was plenty cold yesterday.  We saved all the foil wrappers to wrap the smoked bricks in.  It's all stored in the frig now and yes, the refrigerator smells very smoky.

I did a few housekeeping chores in the morning and then spent the early afternoon sewing the Randolph & Rudy blocks I had cut.  Esme supervised.

I was able to finish the 3 bear heads I had cut and I cut 3 more.  Each block has 37 pieces, some as tiny as 1" square.

I saw 3 piano students and directed bell choir rehearsal and was tired so crashed most of the evening in the recliner.  

This morning brought some appointments in town, and I just finished brushing Esme, Mabel, and Willow.  Cici somehow escaped.  I also spent some time trimming Willows paws.  It's supposed to warm up for a couple of days and I know there will be some major melting going on which will mean lots of mud for Willow to wander in.  I thought it best to trim the paw hair to alleviate some of the mess.

After lunch I'm hoping to create some more bears!
