DEAR SUN SPOTS: Do you or any of your readers know if there is a group called Mothers of Twins in the Lewiston-Auburn-Sabattus area that gets together to discuss and share things about your children with others? It would be helpful to get pointers on what other children do on a daily basis, such as eating habits, playing with others and many other things. Thank you. — C.G., [email protected]

ANSWER: The website for the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Club is at www.nomotc.org. They have a club locator feature, which Sun Spots used, but it didn’t turn up any clubs in L-A or Portland.

Sun Spots did find the Greater Portland Mothers of Multiples Club, www.gpmomc.org. The website says meetings are held at the Barron Center, 1145 Brighton Ave., Portland, on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. They have a contact form on their website.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have Time Warner Cable with on-demand. I was able to access Leslie Sansone Walking Workout 1 Mile, 2 mile, 3 mile workouts. The program does not seem to be available anymore Would you be able to find an answer to this? Also, does this program exist on a DVD for purchase anywhere? Thank you for your expertise and effort for me on this. — No Name via email

ANSWER: Sun Spots does not know if or when those workouts will be back on TV. Your best bet is probably to buy the DVDs or get them from Netflix.

Leslie has a website where she sells her videos: www.lesliesansonevideos.com. They are also available at www.walkathome.com and amazon.com.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Another fan here!

I have had the opportunity to offer suggestions for answers to folk who have written Sun Spots and now have a question of my own.

Fruit. Whether it was favorite peaches this summer or favorite pears this fall, I purchase perfect, great-looking, in-season produce, put them in brown paper bags at home to ripen, and voile! Brown, mealy and inedible.

Certainly not of great importance, but I’d appreciate any help. Thanks for a most interesting column every day. — Greene reader via email

ANSWER: Finding good fruit is not only a matter of season but of distance. Most peaches are grown much further south and travel a long way to land on our supermarket shelves.

As she reported on June 28, Sun Spots surfed the Internet and found that the consensus seems to be that peaches ripen best on the tree, and that if they are picked too soon to travel north they will not ripen properly. One site even said that a peach picked before it’s ripe but after it’s begun to turn from green to yellow will soften, but not really ripen.

Several posters suggested putting your peaches in a paper bag to ripen, perhaps adding an apple (Sun Spots is not sure why that would help).

Perhaps readers will have other suggestions.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I want to thank the readers for their generosity to Turner Elementary School for sending their Box Tops for Education.

If you have any Box Tops or Campbell soup labels that you would like to donate to our school, please mail them to me at 5 Brookfield Estates, Turner, ME 04282. Thank you! — Laurie Labbe, [email protected]
