Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Dandy Hound Lovers…OMGoodness, that was the cutest thing we heard on our overnight trip to Carter Caves Resort KY State Park.  Grandma, Daisy Lynn and I finally made it back to Carter Caves.  The last time we were there I got sick and Chaps had a panic attack so we high tailed it home.  That was back in 2012.

We had such a great time getting back to what we started so many years ago…

The day started out stormy but not too bad…

Look at the artistic picture that Grandma took out of the window…WOW!

On the way, there is a covered bridge that we adore.  ADORE!  – Another picture that Grandma took!  WOW!

We really wanted to have a picnic on the road that leads into the park.  We had the perfect spot all set up and ready to dig in!

Remember those clouds?  Well they broke open and we did the 5 yard dash to the car!  No one ran faster than Daisy Lynn!!! LOL

Hey, this could have been even a better spot to eat!  The rain was so cool!  We loved it. It was so much fun…Daisy Lynn was so funny…

OK, what is wrong with this picture?  This was for an overnight!  LOL!  OK, Daisy Lynn had her own bag and I was on a business trip for the Lily Book.  I had some inventory with me!

We walked up to the Lodge for dinner but we did a carry out.  Daisy Lynn wanted us to bring it back to the room which was fine with us.

We were anxious to start watching MSNBC and the pre debate coverage.

Then it was off to the gift shop to sell the Lily Book!  We have about a 1000 more KY gift shops to hit and every one of them will be fun!

Check this out!  We were also on a rock hunting mission.  Look at the treasures they had in the gift shop!

But the real treasures were on the way out of the park.  We got another picnic table that overlooked this…

Perfect…

The rocks were spectacular and we filled a few larger bags.  So much fun…

Adorable on her picnic blanket…

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Share Time Lovers…I saw this somewherez on the internet and tucked it away in my “to do list” file!

Isn’t it cute???

It looks like a taco salad topped off with a crust basset hound.

I am thinking I might do this at my next luncheon.

I certainly have something similar…

That tail is the tricky part.  It is hard to cut out anything with it.  I think I can just add on a tail made of crust.

I will let you know howl it goes…

More loving crust tails later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB eating rainbow tacos;)

PS – extra sour cream please…

Howllo Fellow Basset and hunkering down lovers!  Yesterday we went out run a few errands.  One of which was filling up our care package for our Julian who is away at OSU!  What a fantastic campus.  We cannot wait to go and visit him.  Anyway…we were supposed to get a few evening storms but this was a doozie!

This is 2 streets down from our street and main headquarters of bassethoundtown enterprises!  Daisy Lynn was in her safe house, aka kennel.  We were so worried.  We could not pass through this mess.  The power pole snapped in half!

So, we checked her camera that is aimed on her kennel and she was sleeping.  We were live viewing when the electric shut off!

So with her safe and tucked in what could we do???

Ya turn around pronto and go to our favorite Mexican Restaurant!  Lord have mercy!!!  The margarita machine was at optimal performance!  Thank Dog their electric did not go out!

#lifeisgood

Then, after a dose of delicious we ventured out to head home.  Our town is amazing and the whole thing was cleaned up but the electric was still off.

What to do, what to do???

Remember reading???  Reading a real book???

It was a stroke of genius that we had stopped by the library earlier in the week…

No lights?  No problem…

I grabbed my flash light and dove right in!

Have any of the resident read this book?  So far I really like it.  It’s a murder mystery involving a basset hound, a little boy and the people who come to their rescue.  The basset is not the one murdered or the little boy…FYI…

What a nice way to spend a Saturday evening…

Eventually, the lights came back on and TV started screaming at me but I turned it off and kept reading…

More loving a good basset hound book later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB drinking rainbow slush puppies…)

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Queen and Mayor Lovers…Yes, our Daisy Lynn sure looks like a Queen atop her Kingdom!

Daisy Lynn and I were in the backyard just checking out the back hill and of course I had my camera with me.

Then I captured the “money shot”!

What a way to start September in bassethoundtown.  The weather is perfect and the hound even more perfecter! hehehe

More loving perfecter later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB waddling down a perfecter rainbow…)

If you recall I posted about the rock art we were doing in the Ladies Room.  Well, we have been collecting more rocks for more projects…

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Early Morning Misty Summer Air Lovers.  Yesterday morning kinda reminded me of our late Emma (Early Morning Misty Air).  There was a kind of a freak coolness to the air and a mist.  I went out front, it was about 6:15ish.  I was looking around to see if the deer got to my flowers again.

They appeared pretty good.  I put out more deer scram out the night before.

Look close, the Mayor is in the Ladies Room!

It was such a great morning!

Really great for a morning nap!

More loving misty air in the morning later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB in rainbow mist;)
