A Memorial Day Celebration

A baby shower inside the café is wrapping up. Fifteen or twenty women, 30-something, professional, wearing dresses and flowers. Twittering soprano laughs and gleeful outbursts dance with ticks and clicks of heals and glasses. Occasionally, one breaks from the group with a stack of presents, gift bag dangling from elbow, helping to load the expectant’s SUV. Everything is fit and beautiful, celebrating the American dream on this Memorial Day.

Not the cafe in the vignette but one of my favorite shops. This area of Portland is less refined.
