HI SUN SPOTS: I am writing to see if someone has old counted cross-stitch patterns for samplers. I would like the ABCs and also patterns for trees, houses or people.
I would also like to know where to buy Lake & Lodge flavored coffee made by Green Mountain Coffee. I would appreciate any help. Thank you very much. — L. Dunham at 207-864-5503.
ANSWER: That coffee flavor is sold in many online stores. Sun Spots knows that Green Mountain Coffee is sold in local stores, too, including grocery stores, department stores, office supply stores, and even home improvement stores. Check with D & N office supply store at 1225 Center St. in Auburn, 207-333-3636. It is listed in their inventory. They sell cases of single-pot coffee packages, 50 packages to a case and also Keurig Kcups.

ANSWER: Sun Spots found a few dealers online selling this product, but the prices were high. You can try New England Hi Fi in Scarborough at 207-883-4173 or info@nehifi.com.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Why do some football coaches and staff have a stripe down the back of their jackets both in pro and college games? Thank you for all the information you provide to aid so many. Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! — No Name, No Town.
