You just had one. Did you notice that? I notice my weekend by three things. Friday as afternoon turns into the evening I have a little ceremony and close my email. Then, that same night, I have an even better ceremony which culminates me in turning off the alarm so it doesn&#8217;t go off on Saturday morning. That&#8217;s how I know the weekend is here. For lunch on Saturday we go get Chic-fil-A. These days it is strictly a drive thru affair. Three weekends ago we sat in the restaurant, and it was almost empty and odd. The change was coming, and we all knew we were in the midst of it, even if we weren&#8217;t quite yet sure what that might be. <\/p>\n<p>Now the young people are standing in the drive thru wearing gloves and hanging out near hand sanitizer and it is certainly different. But at least they are still able to work, and at least we are able to get a sandwich, and at least it is one indicator of the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>So how was yours? <\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s check in on the cats. Phoebe found herself a new spot on which to sit:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/apr20\/apr15.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>And since we&#8217;ve had a bit of sun lately we&#8217;re opening more curtains and she&#8217;s finding more spots. <\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/apr20\/apr16.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Poseidon &#8230; I must give him this. When he knocks things over, he owns it.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/apr20\/apr17.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t even in the room when he decided the cup that was on the kitchen island should be on the kitchen floor. I thought The Yankee had come downstairs and had dropped something, so I wasn&#8217;t in a big hurry to go check out the sound. When I got into the kitchen a few moments later, he was patiently waiting to be found out. <\/p>\n<p>More flowering trees I saw on my Saturday run:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/apr20\/apr18.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It was five miles, but the run itself was nothing special. I slowed down, I told myself, to enjoy the sunshine and the warm day. And the budding trees:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/apr20\/apr19.jpg\"><\/center><\/p>\n<p>And there was a fast ride this evening, which was of the Monday variety, I think. <\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B-qJ27AhXYq\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"12\" style=\" background:#FFF;
