Use the four clues to find a common link. List the answer to each clue and the link. Some answers may be homophones of the actual word for the group. In fact, one group contains three homophones.
Example: lifting device (crane), rapid (swift), flying toy (kite), glimmer (flicker)...bird types.
-1. flower or old spreadsheet program, avoid, wade, chase preceder? -2. circular course around an axis, aught, the time period that your parents told you they weren't born, relief -3. grubs(action), cradle(as in baby holder), butter or paper quantity, a large catered meal -4. boots, restrains, a hooker's clients, London farewells -5. word with train or food, people, type of fly that a pitcher might get?, wobble
Did you ever stop to think and then forget to start again?

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

That was a tough one manxman, good solve! Cheryl, we've always said pad but after looking around the net I see that it could either, depending on where you're from.
