Sometimes I find myself having a pity-party because none of my kids live here in the same town, which I have always wanted but life does not turn out the way we always want, right? But, I just have to remind myself of the wonderful friendship that I have been given with these women. I can honestly say I am blessed.
Tonight, Dore' hosted a tea party in honor of my birthday. Everything was delectable.
Each of us had assigned seating.
The sandwiches were adorable. All of the bread and cheese were cut out with different cookie cutters. There were butterfly, pumpkin, acorn and tea pot sandwiches filled with a variety of food. Egg salad, chicken salad, turkey and cranberry, cream cheese and cucumber and cheese with a slice of apple. 
Don't forget the dessert. Chocolate and pumpkin bites, little tarts filled with chocolate, pumpkin and vanilla. I couldn't just have one, they were small so I had one of each. Hey, it's my party!
Anna and Margie
Dore' and her mom
Ann and Teena
Elizabeth (Ann's twin sister) and Susan...just kidding, Ann's legal name is Elizabeth Ann, some call her Liz or Lizzy, we all know her has Ann. We didn't want Susan to be alone in the picture.
I even got presents. Some delicious smelling candles, one is watermelon, another is vanilla cinnamon brulee. Ann gave me a coupon, good for one night at 7-11 sipping on a soda and watching people, or we can just talk about whatever we want....we have done that before....it's lots of fun.
Dore' made me this bird feeder. Isn't it a clever idea, it's made out of a variety of dishes glued together. It will go in our flower garden in the spring. She put a votive tea light in the top part for now but when I put it outside I will put bird seed there, notice the yellow bowl, that can hold water for a bird bath. Isn't this a clever idea!
Well, it's time for me to go to sleep. My tummy is still full. I am going to have to do my hip-hop abs video twice tomorrow.

I wish I could have beent there. Sounds like it was a great party. The food looks delicious. Did you save some for me? What's with this Ab's thing? Are you getting skinny? That's not fair. Happy Birthday!!!
It sounds like a wonderful tea party with great friends. What is that sipping soda at the 7-11 watching people all about? Is it something like what we use to do at the A&W hamburger place back in high school? (Oh wait, was that soda we drank?)
If you want a good work out, get one of the DVDs of Dancing With The Stars. It is great exercise and you learn the dances. It can be really hilarious with a few girlfriends doing it with you.
Happy Birthday !!!
