Perplexing Problem Magpie 151


Body Sock For the Reclusive

This isolation suit is just the right size
The lavender wool keeps me warm
And also quite safe from prying eyes
But it does occur to me as I sip my tea
It ain't going to be easy when I have to pee

Tess Kincaid of Magpie Tales has once again
 challenged all of us with this quite strange photo.

Creme Brulee Oatmeal!


We've been up in Portland visiting for a few days...
catching up with friends, seeing the dentist etc and it's
been a whirlwind trip = lots of errands to run
and all the time we're eating- so many fun restaurants
here that don't exist in the small mountain towns of
Northern California. This is a typical example of the
over the top restaurant fare- Creme Brulee Oatmeal!
Underneath the crunchy topping is delicious Irish oats with raisins.
Today we are going home and
 will most likely be dieting for a few days!
