Riding the CTA a day before a Thanksgiving
Carefree festive mood. Flowery duffle bag on lap with toothpaste and brush tucked into the side pocket.
Look out the window- morning I saw a woman knocking n then giving up n going downstairs. Afternoon I see the window and door open. Festivities and meal on!
Children on the swings. It's a relaxed weather. Chilly but not very cold. Or maybe it's the warmth of the festival and the joy all around.
The polish girl with flowery hair lips and small travel suitcase alongside chatting away in the cafeteria - all peppy abt her plans for the long weekend.
Ppl worried abt flights getting delayed. Traffic on the road. But yet pleased with themselves n life
A woman with curly hair and black big goggles on the phone - trying to make plans for the evening. Calling friends to see who is available. We want company on festivals and holidays, don't we!
People happy to get out of work. Early. Ppl near coffee machines Discussing food -side dish, entrees and turkey receipes all week.
The train couldn't take people home faster. Everyone eager to get to their thanksgiving plans. Whatever they might be. With family. Shopping at the black Friday sale day. Going olWay from the frenzy on a trip. Meeting parents. Friends. Road trips. Turkey dinners and green bean casseroles. Apple pies and cheesecakes.
Happy time! Happy thanksgiving! Happy holidays! And a happy wedding anniversary to us!!
