Rented ride # 19, met up with friends! Hang time at Kata beach with Aussi Dave, his very expecting girlfriend New, her daughter, Mom, and Austrian Herwig. Sunny skies and a little surf for the boys. Now I have been spending my days hooking up with them or finding a quiet spot to sit and read and watch the sights. Because Steve is now working, ya you read it right he has landed a great job with Island Pools Construction. An Australian owned company, that has put Steve in a management position and as you know he used to wear the hats of many positions when he had his own company so this is very different from his past experiences in the industry! So he goes to work and I go visit friends at the beach, nice! Lucky me! We have the evenings open so off we go to visit the Russians we met last year, that are back her on holidays. They had us for dinner and shared delicious food and vodka shots "Russian tradition". Got to meet their other son and Vicka's Mom Olga. They are so friendly and nice and even brought us a special bottle of vodka and a very nice gift for our Grandson Henry, a baby sized Russian hat with a military pin, so thoughtful! Can't wait to see it on him! Steve went to the Bangkok hospital here in Phuket to have a physical for his work visa and it was all good no STD's etc! It was also great that he knows his way around as a few days later we got news that our friends Pam and Gord's niece has been in a terrible accident, cliff jumping. Karrisa broke her back and is in the Bangkok hospital here in Phuket. We met up with the folks that arrived just a few minutes before we got there. Now these Martin's are old family friends of my folks from over 30 years ago and live just a stones throw from my Step-Dad Stan's home. What a tough ordeal for them to have to go through! Their daughter had a very level headed friend Stephanie traveling with her and made sure she was well taken care of. They had been cliff diving off Monkey island (it is close to the popular island named Phi Phi). She has had her surgery and they put a couple rods in her back and a big cast on one of her broken wrists. She is very lucky and will fully recover. It makes us grateful that our own kids are fine. It truly brings "things" into prospective, and we know all will be fine! Our kids are not happy with the decision of us living here, and we hope in time that they will understand! Life is short and like the old saying goes.... for the living! Or should we say if it doesn't kill you it will just make you stronger! More time in with the Russians, more vodka and Steve even got a little jammin in at Rick and Rolls . Hang time watching Theo jam at the Art Bar. Always lots to see here! :) More details to follow! Coming soon to our blog near you!
