Secret Retreat

 :)
Field workers?   REFS
Late notice?   OBIT
Port container   CASK
It can help you carry a tune   IPOD [my only hope --- and my favorite clue in a long time]
Word often preceding a sentence   GUILTY
Time pieces: Abbr.   HRS [note two words]
Somme soul   AME [not in English except as part of a phrase, but it’s clever]

Lasagna ingredient   WIDENOODLES [actually it’s wide macaroni, which is made from semolina; noodles are not]
Take out, in a way   BORROW [the one way I can think of is from a library --- probably what Gail had in mind]
Hose fillers   TOES [I’d go with “Stocking stuffers” because that’s a common phrase]
Fools   SIMPS [Denotatively, yes; but smart people are more often fools than simpletons, from whom little is expected.  Foolishness suggests that an act was unexpectedly unwise; toddlers are never foolish, nor are guppies.]

RATING:  ;D ;D Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = No fun
