DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m hopeful Sun Spots readers can help me. I’m looking for an elephant costume for my grandchild, size 5-6, and am willing to pay a fair price for it. Please call 240-3738. Many thanks.

ANSWER: Be sure to check out Goodwill. There may not be costumes on display right now, but sometimes they have them stored in the back. My grandson had one a few years ago that his mom bought at Goodwill. She donated it back to the store when they were done with it, so I know these costumes exist!
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Are you interested in local history? Museum L-A is looking for people who want a closer look behind the scenes at the museum. Able-bodied volunteers are needed to move collection items during the month of May and early June. Contact Camden at 333-3881 or email cmartin@museumla.org.
ANSWER: For those who don’t know, Museum L-A has a lot going on! Located in the Bates Mill complex at 35 Canal St., the museum is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, go to https://www.museumla.org/ or contact them at 333-3881 or info@museumla.org.
I’m especially excited about the Seeding Vitality Arts Program for those who are 55 and older, and I want to check out the traveling exhibition “Weaving a World” by David Scobey!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: A couple of weeks ago I came home to find a pretty gift bag tucked into a corner of my house. I wasn’t expecting anything so I checked the tag and the card inside for a name, but there wasn’t one. The card was signed by “Millie.” It finally dawned on me that you might be able to help me connect with Millie so this gift could get to its rightful owner. Please call 353-8124, leave a message and identify the contents.
— No name, Lisbon
ANSWER: This is a mystery to be solved! I once left a gift bag hanging on the doorknob of someone’s front door and didn’t realize until weeks later, when I didn’t receive a thank you note, that I had left the gift at the wrong house. The item was never recovered. Thank you, dear reader for attempting to set things right!
