DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m looking for someone in the Lewiston-Auburn area who provides the service of posting “for sale” items on Craigslist and/or Facebook Marketplace.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have to tell you I have never met so many caring and wonderful people than in Gray and surrounding towns. Never a day goes by that someone doesn’t do me a kindness.
I was sitting in McDonald’s waiting for a friend to meet me for lunch when two lovely young ladies had the lady in charge give me a gift card they had purchased for me. I was completely overwhelmed.
I just want to say thank you to everyone for all your kindness that each one of you has done for me, and thank you, Sun Spots for all you do for everyone. It means so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. — No name, Gray
ANSWER: What a sweet letter. I’m so grateful that I am the one who gets to read all these. All of you in Sun Spots Land make my day better — every day.
