Bits N' Pieces: Of Our Lives Colleen Chapman

This book briefly covers my early life up to present, age eighty-four. I started this project several years ago, just me, for my kids. Then I decided it would be fun to ask my family and friends to contribute. Just one rule: No one could say anything negative about another person. It is mostly fond memories and funny stories or incidents. It is a little bit of family history, such as a story by my oldest sister about leaving Oklahoma during the Depression, about picking cotton and working in other crops. I was about eighteen months old when we left and about seven when we reached California. Included also are some true stories about strange things that have happened to myself and some family members.
