Howllow Fellow Basset Hound and Lily Book Tour Lovers…

I am going to break this blog up into a few segments because it is just sooooo long but sooooo fun!  I can spread the joy out!  LOL – First off, Daisy Lynn was swarmed everywhere she went.  She opened so many doors for the Lily Book and cards that it was AMAZING.  She is such a great girl and such a big help.  She never met a stranger…

The night before we left I spent a good deal of time getting all of my marketing packages together.  I signed all of the Lily Books and wrote my sales letter to the gift shops.

Here is the Mayor checking to see if I was doing it right…hehehe

The next morning we were up bright and early because we wanted to eat lunch in Berea, KY.  Daisy Lynn was ready and raring to go.  I am holding up the Lily Book Tour record book to document the take off!!!

We made it to the Historic Boone Tavern Inn about 2 hours later and had a picnic in a near by park.  Then we hit the Tavern Gift Shop and dropped off the Lily Book!

This place is amazing and there is a college in Berea.  The campus is just out of a picture book;)

The Historic Boone Tavern is right smack dab in the middle of campus.  Isn’t that interesting? It is also dog friendly so we will be back to stay for sure!

Our tour did not only including marketing the Lily Book and card packages but we also searched out local libraries and charities.

Here we are at the local Library…Daisy Lynn started crying inside and the librarian gave her a stern look!!!  We high tailed it out in quick order after dropping off the book!  hehehe

Next stop – Cumberland Falls KY State Resort Park…one hour down the beautiful fall leaf tour road of life…

More loving KY later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB reminding us there is a rainbow everyday on earth (not to mention a moon bow!)

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 winning ribbons lovers!!!  Well, we did just that at the fair.  First off, Chaps and Emma did not win a ribbon.  Sigh…but better luck next year is our motto!  We will try again with even more entries!!!

But get this!!!  Grandma and I won 1st place and a blue ribbon for “Rock Solid Love”!!!   We were so happy!!!  Wow, this is amazing – our first piece of rock art gets a blue ribbon!  NICE…

Another ribbon!!!

I won 2nd place for computer art featuring Disco Lily!!!  That really meant a lot to me!  Love, love, love my Disco Lily.

Then to top off the winning ribbons fun – Grandma and I won for our Chocolate Hot Nutty Balls!  OMDog – we were over the moon!!! 2nd place out of  A LOT of candy!!!

This is the first time we entered in the fair but it will not be the last.  Here is a look at the exhibit hall…

Another shot of the flower area…

We met this little girl with her pony, “Mr. Tickle Butt”!

We really had a great time and there is nothing like a Kentucky County Fair!

Hope you enjoyed our day…

More loving and dreaming of ribbons later…Cat, Daisy Lynn (Chaps and Emma ATB not worried one bit they did not win.  “Next year Mamma”…)

Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Testing Lovers…I had to crack up when I went into my comment section on the last testing post.  You may or may not have noticed that I had posted that to the sub-blog heading of…The Lily Book Tour!  Woot Woot for Surez….

Yes, it is true and I am very excited to announce that Grandma, Daisy Lynn and I are going on our first ever Lily Book Tour!

This will be the new header graphic and I will post our progress as we move towards the dates.  The ruff plan is to travel from bassethoundtown main location in KY to South Florida with 4 or 5 stops along the way.

The Lily Book was self published in 2006 – Lunar year of the Dog.

Lily Pad Serena Von Firstenburg Child, AKA – The Child…circa 1996

She went from the mean streets of the projects to a sprawling estate that was fit for a Queen just like herz…

The stuff fairy tails are made of only this one is loosely based on a real story!  hehehe

More loving book tours later…Cat, Daisy Lynn, (Chaps and Emma ATB with Natalie, Chloe and “The Child”;)
