Beth (Coddington) Scrafford Denice's mother, Beth, a great woman. She is the head of the Scrafford family and a saint for putting up with 4 obnoxious children of her own. Beth is always doing something for others. She used to do a lot of work for her church and was always bussing her friends around. Beth now suffers from macular degeneration, so she doesn't have the freedom she once enjoyed and she doesn't drive very often these days. My mother still lives at our family home in northern Idaho. |

Dave Sanders, Lauren and Lauretta Scrafford. July 1998. Another long awaited visit from my brother and his lovely wife. Just a few months later they moved to our area of the country! We looked forward to seeing one another more often, but we transferred to Montana and now to Tennessee. I guess we're getting further away every year, but only in physical distance. |
|
My brother, Lauren. Christmas night, 1999, at his house. We had a wonderful time. My mother, Lauretta's mother, son Peter, her sister and niece Liz were there along with Bear (our dog) and Ballie the fuzz ball. |
|
Christmas morning at the Scrafford house. Santa had left a pile of gifts and we sat around the table, after breakfast, enjoying sharing in what we found under the tree. |
|
Lauren with Lauretta's son Peter. He was a lot of fun and added some punch to the Christmas festivities. |
|
This is Lauretta's mother, Grace Thorne. Grace loves holidays and plenty of peanut brittle. Grace suffered a stroke a few years ago and now lives in a retirement home. |
|
Lauren and Dave gabbing and enjoying a movie, Christmas night 1999. |

Denice and David Sanders. We celebrated our 19th anniversary in September. Dave has one son, Nelson. We now have a dog to spoil. We enjoy going to the ocean and the mountains, and now that we've relocated to Tennessee we will enjoy the historic points of interest and the lovely people. We share the mutual interest of computers and music. It sure has been a quick 19 years! |

This was our cat Taipei. She passed on to that big sandbox in the sky around July 2003. She was 15 years old and had become senile. She's was a tough old gal. |
|
Here she is again. This time she was ready to strike! |
|
This is our dog, Bear. He is quite a character. No one bothered to tell him that he is a dog. Bear's favorite hobbies are going for a ride with Dave and playing in the snow. We finally had snow this year in Tennessee. I think it lasted for about 15 minutes. |
|
Bear going for a ride and a walk! He loves to visit the beach and got to do so in Florida last year. |
|
Well, here they are sitting together so peacefully. It was the week before Christmas and they wanted Santa to leave goodies not lumps of coal. |
