Sunday, lovely Sunday

We've experimented a bit with hours and days open for our shop over the years, and tried to be  consistent with any little changes made. For a long time, we were open every day, then closed on Sundays except for summer and holiday seasons. By Memorial Day, we'd start our Sunday schedule for the summer, and that would be the end of our wonderful little day off together. Last summer, Sundays were a mixed bag of business. Meh.

So we're taking the leap this summer and staying closed for Sundays. It may not sound like a big deal, but in the world of retail, closing for a day is a big decision. It means a little balance for us, a day to be a part of the world and forget about business. We all need that.

The other day I was reading about upcoming concerts and saw that the Portland Cello Project was coming to town again, and my reaction was oh darn it's on a Sunday we can't go... and then I realized, oh yes sirree, we can go! And we made another step towards togetherness: bought a set of (cheapie!) golf clubs for me at a thrift shop, and I'm learning how to play (baby steps, so far). Eventually Robert and I can play together, although I have a feeling he'll be spending most of the time waiting for me to hit the ball. So if you see us out on the Back Nine one of these Sundays, please snicker quietly.

Meanwhile, sorry to any who like to shop Pomegranate on Sundays. Come see us any other day. We'll be much more rested and pleasant shopkeepers, having had a day to goof off.
