Hey, that's cool!
My family moved there in 1963.
As a matter of fact, I went to school in Spiro, Ok.
We lived right across the state line.
I didn't live there very long, because I got married.

My Family are all coming down here for Thanksgiving this year, because of the situation with Richard being missing.
They will be here for week. They want to see him and make sure he's okay. He isn't, but that's a different story.

They really are different up there.

I was born in the south and raised everywhere because of the military so, nowhere was home until after I married.
I married a guy that had never been out of the state except once.
We went to Arkansas to visit my family, and he was amazed at the difference.
He thought he had landed in cowboy land. He loved it!
There is quite a difference in these last 35 years.
There isn't as much cowboy feeling now as use to be.

It's like they are a mixture of a little southern magnolia, a little Tennessee hillbilly and a lot of Texas cowpoke.
Well, that's how it looks to us anyway. :-)

You've hit the nail on the head. Many of us have horses. I grew up riding in the rodeo. That's more Texas than Georgia.
