She helped with the livestock, farming, haying, and general ranch work in addition to cooking and keeping the home. Vera was busy through the years of raising her family as she cooked three big meals a day and baked the best pies, which can't be reproduced because she didn't use a recipe. It wasn't unusual to have company drop by at meal times. Charles and Vera enjoyed square dancing and country dances together. Two of her favorite things to do were checking water wells and putting salt out for the cows in the summer and working in the lambing shed in the spring. She and Charles were honored as Ag.
