Top 10 Suggestions for Using That Extra Hour of Daylight on Sunday

March 9, 2018

This is the weekend that we “Spring Forward” and lose an hour of sleep.  Most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. this Sunday in March 11 –causing many of us to start next week one hour sleep deprived.  But, think of what we gain!  All of us at Grant love the idea of having more daylight hours as we patiently wait for the arrival of Spring in the Mid-South. What will we do with the extra hour on Monday?

Here are the Top 10 Suggestions we have on using that extra hour of daylight:

1.  Take your dog on a real walk – not just circle around the yard a couple of times

2.  Purge your closet – Summer is coming! 

3.  Get out of your house to enjoy a meal -  the delivery guy will survive one night without you

4.  Drag out the Instant Pot you got for Christmas and give it a try 

5.  Clean out your wallet and throw away all the receipt, coupons and sticky notes from 2017

6.  Read a book. A real book that you hold in your hands.

7.  Blow the leaves out of your flower beds

8.  Wash your car yourself

9.  Go for a walk with your kids

And the 10^th best suggestion we have for using that extra hour on Sunday:
 
Visit a Grant neighborhood and tour a beautifully furnished model home.  Our spring/summer hours begin this Sunday.  We will be open on Sunday right after church at 1 and close at 6 pm
