There's a lake there, and it's rural exurb ranchland that's a little bit north-northeast of Tulsa, near the Kansas border. Lila and I drove up to take delivery - it was close enough, and I didn't want to trust her shipping it. We met in a store parking lot. She was an attractive, prosperous looking woman, maybe early 40's, driving a late model SUV, if memory serves. I have the impression she was a ranch wife - not sure why, maybe she had that horsy vibe? My father's family is fairly well to do, socially prominent Baptists originating around Ardmore, Ok. She would have fit right in at the family reunions. Or Santa Fe, New Mexico,
