We drove down to the trailer early Wednesday morning to meet Jim, from camper world..to do the last repairs on the heater. Everything is shaping nicely. He gave us the name of a guy that could help us out in the future.
Later on in the afternoon we heard this rumbling and this monstrous motorhome and trailer pulled in next to us. We were coming back from our walk and said hello..the first thing the guy said was that he couldn't get telephone reception. I asked him if he wanted to use ours but he declined and immediately said "I'm going to fix dinner for you tomorow night." We were speechless. He said he was a casting director and was in this area to look for a place to film a new film for Steve Martin. Who knows??? He certainly is driving the most luxurious motor coach we have ever seen. He was looking for a beach area and we mentioned Seacliff so they were going to drive over the next day. The man's name is Michael Bugatti. His work assistant Phillip is a nice kid...helping Michael scout out spots. I think he is a relative. Michael said his father was an old t.v. western star and I can't remember the name of the series, but recognized it.
The next day we were out walking and they came driving in and spoke out their car window..."we brought your dinner." By the time we got back to our spot they had set the table, using china dishes...we provided the tablecloth. We couldn't believe it was happening!!! We had a wonderful time chatting..he wanted to know all about you guys...and offered much information about himself..he had just lost both of his parents in the last 2 years and 2 weeks ago his sister died...we saw her picture and she must have been in her 30's.
We asked Michael why he was being so nice to us, and he said he was a Catholic, loved doing things for others and was very close to his family..I think he misses his mother. He is 41 years old. He said he often flew to troubled spots in the world to help feed and clothe the victims. He has promised to send pictures of the next area he goes to. We told him about helping the needy and working in the soup kitchen and hauling bread.
When we were finished eating we went inside his motorhome...and our eyes fell out!!! We have seen luxurious motorhomes in Palm Springs but never anything like this...marble floors and counter tops.....every modern convenience..washer/dryer. It was 45 feet long and pulled a huge trailer where they had a studio and kept their car. Michael also has a business with someone else making CD's for singers, groups etc. Friday they are taking the coach and staying at Seacliff for a few days.
We have met many kind people in our lives, but this surpasses anything we have ever experienced!!!!
We had stopped during our walk to look at the creek. The water level had dropped 4-5 feet.
In spite of the unpleasant Eddie, everyone else here has been so nice...Vincent, a worker here who does things on the sly for us...a next door neighbor who is colored, lives here full time and helped try to get the computer internet working for me.
We thank all you who have helped us make this a good life in our old age!!!! xo
