DEAR SUN SPOTS: It is that time of year for all those white resin lawn chairs to pop up everywhere. I’m looking to buy a double one, called a “settee.” Does anyone know where one could be purchased?  I remember seeing them a couple years ago. Thanks for your help.—No name, no town

ANSWER: Because most of our shopping is online right now, try Wayfair, Target, Big Lots, Walmart, Ace Hardware, Kohl’s, Lowe’s and Home Depot. Pricing covers the spectrum. Some are sturdier than others and some even have a seat that lifts for storage. Just put these stores into your Google search and shop from home in your jammies.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: First of all, I would like to thank all the medical personnel on the front lines who taking care of the sick. Their dedicated service is well-appreciated. They are doing a great job.

I would also like to thank all the restaurants that are staying open to help take care of people and the child care centers that are taking care of children so people can go do their jobs.

Thank you, Sun Journal, for listing all the places where we can get takeout orders and a list of soup kitchens where folks can get meals. It is so important. It is a tough time for all of us and all help is greatly appreciated.

Sun Spots, keep up the good work.—Pauline, no town
