Living over 2,000 miles away from family can be tough but thanks to technology, sometimes it doesn’t see so far away. Walmart has great and affordable options that will allow anyone to keep in touch with their loved ones with the Walmart Family Mobile plans!

For the past seven years, I’ve lived in Texas. Although I love my adoptive state, my family is missing. I don’t have the option to go outside to play with my two lovable and enthusiastic nieces or help my mom garden, get in the old car with my dad or even swing on over and tell them about what I came across on my weekend road trip. We are all lucky enough to have the option of staying in touch thanks to technology. How did people do this twenty years ago?! It’s amazing that we can see each other via live video from our phones, sending pictures from our day or call up for a quick chat whenever we’d like. The best feeling in the world is hearing my little nieces say my name in excitement as they pick up the phone. It helps to feel like I’m not so far away after all! Lucky for us, you too can experience moments like these with your family.

Honey Grove, Texas.
Traveling down Highway 82 in North Texas, I knew I had to swing over and check out this little town as soon as I saw the name on a sign. Honey Grove. Can we be any farther in the South? Or Texas?

Honey Grove was established in 1873. Just under two hours northeast of Dallas, this little town is reminiscent of Texas history. Story goes, Davy Crockett camped here on his way to to join the Texas Army in San Antonio. He wrote letters home to Tennessee telling of the “honey filled trees”, calling his campsite a “honey grove”. Davy Crockett also married the towns first settler, Samuel Erwin.

Along the way, you’ll pass the Smiley-Woodfin Native Prairie Grassland, the biggest field you’ve ever seen (the largest in Texas). Within this tiny town, population about 1,600, I have a good idea what you see is what you get. The buildings and quaintness of this town is what I fell in love with, as well as the name. I’m pretty sure I could’ve hung out all day exploring and taking photographs. It’s amazing to think what this town would’ve been like when all of these buildings were in their prime and businesses taking shape.

Lets let the pictures speak for themselves, enjoy!

Smiley-Woodfin Native Prairie Grassland

Never have I felt more in the Midwest than when I came across the Smiley-Woodfin Native Prairie Grassland. In incredible grass prairie for as long as one can see.

Texas Historical Landmark, Native Prairie Grassland, M.L. Smiley, Texas, Texas Agriculture, Hwy 82

Texas Historical Marker reads:

This meadow approximately 2,100 acres, is the largest section of native grassland existing in Texas. It was originally part of a prairie system that stretched throughout the Midwestern United States and into Canada. Since the earliest settlers arrived in this area in the 1830’s, when Texas was part of Mexico this grassland has remained uncultivated, providing an annual harvest of native grasses.

A lack of fuel and surface water made this area suitable for pioneer farmers. Although similar land nearby was tilled and planted, often resulting in erosion of overworked soil. This site was saved by the owner M.L. Smiley (1872-1953). A native of Lamar County, he used the meadow for cattle grazing and for hay production.

Early harvests consisted of cutting and stacking the grasses for drying, or transporting the hay to nearby steam-powered presses. The process was later simplified by the use of gasoline-powered machines that harvested and baled the hay on the site.

After Smiley’s death, the meadow was inherited by brothers George S. and Gene M. Woodfin. Today the Smiley-Woodfin Prairie Grassland is the largest supplier of native hay in the state.

The land is absolutely beautiful, endless and something that we really can’t capture just in a photo. Driving by, your gaze will be directed to the prairie and consumed by how endless it seems.

Location: Along side Hwy 82 between Bonham and Honey Grove in North Texas.

What does this remind you of? Have you ever driven by these endless fields?
