Feelin' Groovy

Years ago, when we first made the radical retial decision to close on Sundays, we announced it to Lloydminster via a series of 4 weekly newpaper ads, slowly building up to our announcement. They were white on black, and each week revealed more of the story. They read:

Slow Down...

Slow Down,
You move too fast...

Slow Down,
You move too fast,
You've got to make the moments last...

Slow Down,
You move too fast,
You've got to make the moments last...
Home Hardware will be Closed Sundays
For Our Families

We made the decision for our staff and ourselves to take a break, take time to rest, rejuvenate and spend that day with the ones who mean the most to us. The ones we are all working so hard for in the first place.

Hopefully you have all noticed our new and flashy big sign, that allows us to share everything exciting that is going on at the store.

If you happen to drive by on Sunday, you will see that we have repeated this message on our sign, along with what we've been doing on our Sundays.

Slow down, you move too fast, you've got to make the moments last.

We're skipping rocks...
...flying kites...
...baking pies...
...running through the sprinkler...
...jumping off the dock...
...roasting marshmallows...
...kicking back...
...reading a book...
...picking berries...
...building a fort...
...taking a nap....
...making sandcastles...
...playing tag...
...soaking up the sun...

etc etc etc. We're enjoying our Sundays, and we hope you are, too. What are you doing on Sunday? Send us a message on our website, as a comment on this blog, or on facebook. You might see your Sunday activity up on our sign!

PS--The lines of our announcement are paraphrased from the Simon and Garfunkel song "Feelin' Groovy." The end of the first stanza is "looking for fun and feeling groovy." Here's hoping you're doing the same.

Cheers!
