DEAR SUN SPOTS: My family and I are trying to remember the name of the little yellow diner that hung out over the canal on the corner of Main and Canal streets in Lewiston. I know it was there in the early 1980s but am not sure when it was torn down. Thank you for […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Your column is wonderful and informative. This is my first time writing to it. I desperately need someone who already has a notebook PC to befriend me and come into my home and help me learn how to use it. I’ve taken it back several times, but it doesn’t help — only […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Poland Historical Society is looking for anyone who might have or know where we can find benches from local Grange halls. Any information anyone might have on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Call 998-4391. Thanks, Sun Spots, for being there when we have a need. — Mary Chipman [email protected] DEAR […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you for your helpful column. I read it every day. I have three questions for you. On Oct. 28 the Sun Journal had a story about Jude Bellas, who does paper quilling. I would like to get in touch with her. Also, where can I find a crazy eight ball? I […]

Children with accompanying adults will be welcomed to shop while the adults have coffee and snacks. Adults and young adult elves are welcome to be helpers, too. The children […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I was given a partial container of barley greens. Does anyone know of any uses other other than as a dietary supplement? I’ve been looking for recipes, but all I’m finding are recipes calling for pearl barley. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you. — Martha Burnell, [email protected] ANSWER: Sun Spots didn’t find […]

HI, MRS. SUN SPOTS: Can you find out for me what insurance companies are included in Maine’s insurance exchange?
