Filled baskets, at popular lottery time.

The kind of story that warms the heart. Julie tells it to you. The birthday girl of the day is her. The doorbell rings. A delivery man, smiling like a four-season pizza. He takes off his package. Heavy. A delicatessen display arrived by mail.
The classic duo of vegetable oils, the bottle of red wine to add color, the packet of pasta and the biscuits. The jackpot of lotto evenings. Julie never won it. Her seniority, this time, works for her. A jubilee gift. Needless to say, the reminder of advanced age is always a little cruel, despite the kind words that accompany it.
In the mail of the same day, the sweet word from the postal office, undoubtedly in cahoots with the sender. Still not necessary, a little bonus to the reward. In three languages. “You are receiving this card as the recipient of an insufficiently franked item.” Okay. Ten francs are missing to validate the nice gesture. Julie pays the requested amount, only too happy to be able to pay for the tour too.
The late Madeleine, Julie’s former sweetheart, in her French garden on the Right Bank.

This garnished basket falling from the sky reminds him of another, princely one, once received by Madeleine, the oldest of her neighborhood. Julie had painted her portrait in the newspaper. The article did not go unnoticed, encouraging a local patron to offer the elderly lady a wicker tray, filled with game terrines and bites of chicken in jelly for her cat. Vanilla.
Julie doesn’t have a pussy. But lots of friends, invited that same evening by him to toast over the bottle they received. Corked, the bottle; It doesn’t matter, it’s the gesture that counts. And the pasta? Hard as a pair of suspenders, despite respecting the cooking time. Julie then surprises herself, sitting in her kitchen, reenacting the scene from “The Gold Rush”, where we see Chaplin taking apart his pair of boiled shoes. At that moment, only one word came from the heart: “Thank you.”
