She did learn to cook and can foods. Grandma and grandpa traded a cow for their first house. They lived in Oklahoma and California most of their lives. She loved to camp, fish, play Bingo, gamble and cook. Grandma always had lots of great food when you went over to her house. One of her well known dishes was her green jello and pears.
