[Synopsis]

Yearly precipitation. You can see why the Eastern 1/3 of the state is called "green country."

I had to give you a rep point for that one.

If the prices and availability were there for us, you can bet you'd have an ummm.... "Interesting, but friendly and decent" neighbor.

Honestly though, the North East (and Tahlequah especially) was my first choice in OK...
But where I want to be and where I have to be (and can afford to be) are 2 different things... A smart lady like you can certainly understand that...

But... Should you want to trade your place for the LOVELY mountains, forests and nature of NH (And it's ALL good, no joking there, I'm in the middle of all that...), I have an open mind and would be more than happy to discuss it with you!
(Remember... We have NO bugs here for about 5 months a year and even the ones we do have aren't even close to what you have in OK.)

(Ignore me... Really good shopping is about 2 hours away in any direction... And my neighbors are the most unfriendly rednecks you'd ever want to meet... Wasn't always that way, but it has been since last year.)

You can say what you like... But at least I'm an HONEST Yankee.

Oklahoma is divided into 6 different countries. Green Country, Red Carpet Country, Arbuckle Country, Kiamichi Country, Frontier Country, and Great Plains Country. I couldn't copy the map so here is a link:

Then click on this on the websit:

Now I understand... Thanks!
Being a Yankee, I'm sure I'd like it there, but it doesn't look like the cheapest place to live and work from here.

I had grits in FL when I was in my mid teens...
I seem to remember liking them.

I can honestly say that I have never met a grit that I liked.

Grits are good! I never had any until I went to Georgia for Basic Training in the Army. I never once saw or heard of them being served anywhere in Oklahoma. I like them with butter and pepper.. mmmmm

It reminds me of the movie "My Cousin Vinnie" when they went to Alabama. For his first breakfast there he asked the cook what there was on the menu and the guy said "eggs and grits" or something like that.

He said "What's a grit?" in his New York accent. They cook was perplexed and explained to him it was made from corn. When he tasted them, he tried to eat one single "grit" at a time. That movie was hilarious, if none of you have ever seen it I highly recommend.

I tried to give you a good rep point for that one, but I have to spread some good cheer around a bit.
The grits map does need a tiny bit of tweeking though. I grew up in SE Ohio right around the panhandle of WVA. We had grits every now & again at breakfeast. Sometimes we had fried mush. (Usually my Dad requested these dishes.)
