DEAR SUN SPOTS: I found a well-loved rosary with lavender Hail Mary beads along the Whitman Spring Road walking trail this past Monday. I left it hanging on the post at the southern trailhead. — Susan, no town

ANSWER: How thoughtful of you to write to Sun Spots about this. Hopefully the owner of the rosary will see this and be relieved that this special item is safe and sound.

Sun Spots is the place to go when something is lost or found. For anything of value, also check in with local law enforcement because chances are that the item has been taken there if found, and if something is lost it’s a good thing to see if someone has turned it in.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: We’re thinking about Christmas here and have hundreds of C9 bulbs on a dozen strings, mostly brand new in the boxes. There are a few C4s too. These are not LEDS but are old-school. The C9 bulbs are the big ones and C4 are the smaller ones. Contact me at 824-2759 — Joe, Bethel

ANSWER: I believe that the C4 size bulbs are a little bigger than mini lights, if anyone is wondering. I’m sure you’ll get calls about this, Joe! Thank you for your generosity.
