Grandma's Cucumber Tea Sandwiches image

My Grandma and her sisters got together every couple of weeks to play bridge. She always made these sandwiches when it was her turn to host--and spent most of the day in the kitchen guarding the refrigerator to keep all the rest of us from stealing them! I changed the bread to whole wheat, as I like it better, but you can use whatever suits you--we also use pumpernickel or rye.
