DEAR SUN SPOTS: On Friday, Nov. 4, I was at the health club on Lisbon Road in Lewiston and someone picked up my blue tote bag by mistake. It had my car keys in it. Please return the keys to the health club as soon as possible. It will be  greatly appreciated. — Ray, no town

ANSWER: Oh dear! That’s not good! I hope you already have your keys back in your possession, and your bag, too. Let us know.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you for the great coverage of our dollhouse gift in the Monday’s column. My phone number is 824-2062 and I am in Bethel if anyone wants to contact me. Regarding the age of the dollhouse, it was made in 1975 and is a “collectible,” meaning it is a fine quality miniature. — Lida, Bethel

ANSWER: Thank you so much for the additional information. I have a love for this kind of thing. I’m sure this dollhouse with its furnishings is just lovely and will garner some interest.

Dollhouses have been around for centuries and people who have enjoyed growing up with them have fond memories of playing with their “imaginary families.” Parents shop for doll houses for their children, and adults also collect them as a hobby.

 Please let me know if I can help further. If it is decided to hold a raffle or silent auction for this, we will certainly put out the word for you! Keep us posted on what you decide.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I haven’t seen meteorologist Lexie O’Connor on the early morning WGME news. Is she still there? — Rudy, no town

ANSWER: Lexie moved in early September to the next step of her career after nine years with WGME. The Emmy-nominated meteorologist, who spent most of her career thus far in Portland, went back to her old stomping grounds in Boston where she joined the weather team at the CBS affiliate there, WBZ-TV, a station she watched while growing up.

She was born and raised in Massachusetts and attended Boston University where she graduated magna cum laude with a degree in broadcast journalism. She went on to work for the Boston University media outlets. She also spent a semester in London with ABC News International’s web team and worked for news stations in New York.

Lexie became a meteorologist after completing Mississippi State’s Broadcast Meteorology program while reporting and forecasting in Portland.

We all miss her but know that she and her sweet family are doing well.
