RESPONSE: Sun Spots searched three local stores and did not find that CD available for purchase. Let’s hope a reader can help you in your quest to fulfill someone’s Christmas wish. If you knew whether the recipient had a digital music playing device you could give an iTunes card so the recipient could download the EP. It’s possible that “Closer” is only available for digital music players.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m writing in regard to “No Name in Rumford” who requested places to get chocolate wafers. I work in the party department of Hobby Lobby in Auburn and she’ll be delighted with all of the choices of flavors and colors of our chocolate wafers.
Hobby Lobby is open 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. We are closed on Sunday for family time and worship. Hope this is helpful! I enjoy your column. Merry Christmas from Jane.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: You have been so helpful to me over the years. I’m hoping someone seeing this request can help me. I am looking for an adult writing class or ongoing writing workshop so that I can learn to write professionally. Years ago, I took an excellent class through Adult Education via Portland/Ollie, but it is no longer offered. You can contact me at 207-577-7048. Thank you. — No Name in Wales.
ANSWER: Sun Spots checked with Lewiston Adult Education, which offers Writing Workshop that runs for 16 weeks, but the course started in August. You can find out if the course will be repeated by emailing mreagan@lewistonpublicschools.or or by calling 207-795-4141. A search of Auburn Adult and Community Education did not locate any writing courses, but you can check to see if new writing courses/workshops will be added in the future by emailing bgrant@auburnschl.edu or by calling 207-333-6661. Good luck!
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am looking for anyone who can help me find sheet music for an 8-year-old, preferably kids’ tunes with the note symbols and corresponding note letters on them for a keyboard. I would appreciate any help to be able to have some by Christmas. Thank you. — Call 207-782-1445 and ask for Diane.
ANSWER: In addition to information you receive directly, Sun Spots called Musician’s Hub at 120 Center St. in Auburn and learned that they have a handful of items that fit the description of what you seek. You can visit them in person or call 207-333-6700 for more information. Also, although they don’t carry sheet music, you can check with Main Street Music Lessons at 134 Main St. in Auburn to see if they can order for you. Call 207-376-3376.
