Kindred Ranch

Augusta, Montana
What's Happening

Here's what's planned for Brad & Shari in the next few months:

  • Trip to Missoula coming up soon for Kane's "two year" birthday party!
  • Planning a trip to Flathead Lake the middle of July to spend a few days enjoying the lake and boating with one of our friends from Augusta.
  • Good friends from Circle, MT (Larry/Sandy & Bim/Helen) are coming to the ranch for a long weekend the end of July. Going to spend some time fishing and socializing.
  • Tom, Reno & Carsen are coming to Montana to spend a month at Flathead Lake for the summer. They will stop by the ranch for a visit the end of July!
  • Brad is working on his golf game in anticipation of the Montana State Senior tournament that is in Helena the first week of August.
  • The big news is the new "Granddaughter" headed our way. Keli continues to be healthy and the baby should be here around Labor Day! Shari and Keli have the nursery almost ready!
Here's what been going on with Shari & Brad:
  • Kane brought his parents, Keli & Adam, to the ranch for the Augusta rodeo weekend. (See the 2010 Photo Gallery for a couple of new pictures!)
  • Keli, Adam & Kane flew to Denver the middle of June to spend a long weekend with Tom and his family. (See the 2010 Photo Gallery for a cute picture of Carsen & Kane on Tom/Reno's red scooter!)
  • Trip to Missoula in June to help Keli finish the "big-boy" bedroom set for Kane. Kane loves his new bedroom set!
  • Keli brought Grandson Kane up to the ranch for a 3-day visit the middle of May. Kane delighted his Grandma & Grandpa with his talking. Weather wasn't that good with rain one day and snow another, only one day nice enough to play outside. (See 2010 Photo Gallery for a picture of Kane driving the tractor!)
  • "BIG NEWS"...Grandson Kane is going to have a baby sister about September 1!
  • A trip to Missoula was needed in April to see our Grandson Kane! Brad & Keli completed the refurbishing of a "big boy" bedroom set that Kane will start using in July.
  • Too much fun...Shari & Brad had a fantastic time in Costa Rica for 8 days during April! Our time was split between our son's rental house in San Jose, Costa Rica and the La Suenos Resort on the Pacific beach near Jaco, Costa Rica. Tom, Reno, & Granddaughter Carsen rented a beautiful house near San Jose for March & April, how could we not go to see them! The weather was hot and humid which made the water in the swimming pool and the ocean that much better. At the ocean we had a boat rented and spent 2 days deep-sea fishing and cruising the coastline of Costa Rica. One night on the barbecue, Shari cooked up freshly caught Mahi Mahi, tuna, & mackerel. Brad is still bragging about his 200+ lbs. sail-fish, but Shari brought home the food with her Mahi Mahi! (See the 2010 Photo Gallery to view some Costa Rica pictures...check out our deep-sea fishing pictures!)
  • A few days in Missoula the end of March to help Keli celebrate her birthday. Shari made her daughter a special dinner enjoyed by everyone! Also an opportunity to spend some time with our Grandson Kane!
  • Wonderful 7 days at an all-inclusive resort south of Cancun, Mexico the middle of March with our long-time college friends John & Nancy and Larry & Sandy. Terrific food, all you can drink and great friends...does it get any better than that? Great fun enjoying the warm weather, beautiful beach and pool, a little golf for the guys, time at the spa for the ladies, & a cultural trip to Chichen Itza to view the Mayan ruins.
