Here's what I have planned to make for the tea party on Monday. (edited in Red with what we REALLY had... yes, plans change! LOL)

• Raspberry Lemonade with lemon slices
• Herbal Teas (variety)
• Cream Cheese and Cucumber finger Sandwiches (open faced on these cute little whole grain tiny breads I found at the commissary !)
• P& B finger sandwiches
• Chicken Tuna Salad finger Sandwiches
• Cheesy Bacon Bites
• Strawberry Flowers (piped with Cool Whip)
• Grape Bunches Assorted fruits (bought a fruit tray instead !)
• Caramel flavored fruit dip
• Mild Cheddar cheese and Seasame Crisps Crackers
• Cookie Kisses
• Chocolate Dip
• Cinnamon Chips
• Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle Cookies (commissary purchase!)
• Mini Cupcakes (commissary purchase!)
• Chocolate Brownies (commissary purchase!)
• Mint Chocolates
• Cream Cheese Mints

My plan is to go grocery shopping tomorrow morning (they open at 9am) and then come home and make up as much as possible tomorrow. Monday morning I *have* to go to the library first thing to renew some books, but then we'll come back home and finish preparations.

Thanks to those girlfriends that have told me in comments and in private email to "go enjoy the day with the family." Alas, we've not done that. DH cleaned the upstairs bathroom and vacuumed upstairs and the stairs, I worked on the downstairs. DD tidied up her room. Now DH is chillin' out upstairs in his man chair, DD is on the lanai talking on the cell phone to family members. I've been folding laundry. I need to go up to the bookroom and tidy up in there. Not that anyone will be going in there on Monday (LOL) but I had carried stacks of books up to the bookroom that had been sitting on the stairs prior to DH vacuuming, so I need to put those books away.

I've got sirloin tips thawing out right now, to throw into a stirfry for dinner tonight. A Netflix movie just came in so DH and I will watch that this evening.
