Her father was in the oil industry, managed drilling crews for while, then bought a truck. Guess at the time hauling drilling equipment around was the better money. So, they moved around a lot. In those days, outside of town, it was nothing but trailers and trailer parks.
Later in life, grandma lived in Levelland, outside of Lubbock and used to run a cross roads restaurant called the Spot. Of course the chicken fried steak was delightful.
