Names of the winners and answers to the clues in the Invisible Leaf Hunt for homebound residents are as follows:
1. In days of old when hubby was told,
"you must do the grocery shopping,"
It was a rewarding task, for wifey to ask.

with hubby's every spent penny.
From trinkets to lamps
Wifey paid for them with books of green stamps.

Where teens could congregate.
Ice cream cones, candy and more,
Were purchased for your special date.

There was a special restaurant to go.
All of their many patrons raved
So this eatery you are sure to know.
