http://flinthillskittykitty.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. I've got two characters I now perform for audiences - telling first person narratives for Kittie Hays Houghton (daughter of famous Santa Fe Trail trader, Seth Hays) and Nell Donnelly-Reed (famous for Nelly Don dresses; an anchor company of the Kansas City Garment District). See my new website here. Which includes news from other more experienced members of the Kansas Alliance of Professional Historical Performers.

Flinthills Kitty Kitty: March 2014
http://flinthillskittykitty.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Sunday, March 30, 2014. Visible Monday: Retro High Waist Zena Jeans. Continuing on the quest for great jeans for a grandma like me,. I picked these up on a whim last week for fifty cents. Zena was a popular brand of jeans in the 1980's and 1990's. I held on to a pair of Zenas for years but finally gave them up the last time I lost weight. The high waist (which for us old-timers is the waist we all wore -except that brief foray into hiphugg...

Flinthills Kitty Kitty: Visible Monday - Reflections
http://flinthillskittykitty.blogspot.com/2012/06/visible-monday-reflections.html
Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Monday, June 18, 2012. Visible Monday - Reflections. This is my third week to participate in Patti's group of www.notdeadyetstyle.blogspot.com. The reason I decided to join the effort was to test myself - how much have I really changed my style? I've been working from home for over two years now. Some days I never get out of my pajamas! If something begins to tug, bind or slip - I dismiss it from my closet immediately! I know how challengi...

Flinthills Kitty Kitty: Visible Monday: Grandmas and Jean Butts
http://flinthillskittykitty.blogspot.com/2014/01/vinsible-monday-grandmas-and-jean-butts.html
Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Monday, January 13, 2014. Visible Monday: Grandmas and Jean Butts. This - casual, yet practical and self-empowering look - "I just threw on jeans today" has proven to be the most difficult for me to perfect. And it is the one I wear nearly everyday - as do many women living in rural areas. Jeans: Levi 527 thrifted $5.99. Top: Land's End Canvas, ebay score for $3.99. Boots: Thrifted, $5 several years ago. So that's what's going on! I starte...

Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Friday, April 11, 2014. The Fallacy in the Term Victim Mentality. And so the child buckles down to overcome their issue. They throw themselves into overcoming the problem. Piano lessons? How does this child in teenage years approach his curiosity about mountain climbing? What does he know or not know about himself that will help/hinder the exploration of mountains? What about career choices? Helpful people point out that we are letting the...

Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Finishing up the Beef Tallow Process - The Kitchen is Now Clean Again. I finished up the beef tallow rendering. It feels good to have clear countertops again. Here is the post. About the first part of the process. Also takes care of the problem that I would have trying to spoon it out of a mason jar later when I want to use it. This way - I'll just pull chunks out of the freezer as needed. I reheated the crockpot...

Flinthills Kitty Kitty: July 2014
http://flinthillskittykitty.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Monday, July 14, 2014. Slippery Slope of Yoga Pants. I'm afraid I'm playing at the edge of the slippery slope of yoga pants. My daughter and I have a running joke - that you never want to wear your yoga pants to town, even once, because once you break through that barrier it's nearly impossible to go back. It's nearly 100 degrees now during the hottest parts of the days in Kansas. These are the challenges of living in the American rural mi...

Flinthills Kitty Kitty: What Does My Hair Say, Exactly? Why is it Talking For Me?
http://flinthillskittykitty.blogspot.com/2012/04/what-does-my-hair-say-exactly-why-is-it.html
Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. What Does My Hair Say, Exactly? Why is it Talking For Me? After reading Lisa's thoughts on hair. I wanted to share the story of my hair and my campaign for public office. Actually, the story covers two separate political campaigns. I am forever puzzled by this. Possible explanations swim around in my head but nothing seems to explain it. Slot no one wanted; the state senate seat. The incumbent was a well-known ...

Flinthills Kitty Kitty: Vintage Knits by Marie St. John at my thrift store
http://flinthillskittykitty.blogspot.com/2012/05/vintage-knits-by-marie-st-john-at-my.html
Living lightly on the last 4% of our planet's tall grass prairie. Monday, May 14, 2012. Vintage Knits by Marie St. John at my thrift store. So it seems that I might keep this one.a vintage navy blue knit cardigan and skirt set by Marie St. John. I didn't think I would fit in it very well. But in taking some photos for my etsy shop I decided it fits better than I had assumed. We'll see if I actually have an opportunity to wear it anywhere! I'm feeling rich I tell ya! Whoa, this is an AMAZING find! Subscri...
