Dixie and the Kids Harp Donnale Harp

This is the story of my life as a child growing up with a pioneer Mother. My mother, Dixie Smith was a unique woman who taught her children the gift of never giving up. Dixie and the Kids tells the story of how we moved to Oregon and built our own log cabin, how we made ends meet, and how we loved and laughed along the way. The story is told through the eyes of my family members and of our many animals, however, the memories are mine. We were referred to by friends, neighbors and family as "Dixie and the Kids", and we were a true team. This story is a tribute to my other teammates: Dixie, Ronald and Eugene.

Donnale Harp currently lives in Rancho Cucamonga, California, just a stones throw away from where she was born in San Dimas. She has come full circle by returning to her birthplace. She enjoys spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and still loves to get the giggles.
