DEAR SUN SPOTS: I hope your readers follow your suggestion to use this stay-at-home time to clean out their houses and get rid of accumulated, unwanted items as I am doing.

Perhaps another reader has found what I’m looking for among their VCR recordings of the well-known British program “Masterpiece Theater,” specifically the four-part series titled “All for Love.” It was presented, I think, in the early or mid-1980s.

Each of the four Sunday night episodes was a story of a certain kind of love. I watched them repeatedly until the VCR tape was damaged years ago. Perhaps a reader will discover “All for Love” and if no longer wanted, could pass them along to me. I find it enjoyable to pass on to another what I no longer want or need. Please contact me at 225-3639.

— Susan, Turner

ANSWER: This is a great reminder, Susan. If you have free items you no longer want you can offer them here on Sun Spots. If you are looking for something, this is a great place to let other readers know. I do ask that you offer reasonable compensation for an item. If you are holding a yard sale or have many items to sell, please consider placing an ad in the Sun Journal classifieds. The cost is very reasonable and the number to call is 784-5411.

I hope one of our readers can help you with the videos. Let us know what happens!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Although this song is not titled “Memories” it immediately came to my mind in response to the letter in the May 7 Sun Spots: “The Way We Were” by Barbra Streisand.

“Memories light the corners of my mind/Misty water-colored memories of the way we were/Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind/Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were. Can it be that it was all so simple then/Or has time rewritten every line/If we had the chance to do it all again/Tell me, would we?/Could we?/Memories may be beautiful and yet/What’s too painful to remember/We simply choose to forget/So it’s the laughter we will remember/Whenever we remember/The way we were.”

I hope the reader finds the words to the song she is looking for.

— Ruth, no town

ANSWER: I wondered this myself. That’s why it’s important to include the artist or the songwriter when sending in these types of requests if you can. It really is helpful.
