Cheers to a brand new year!


This time of year naturally makes us reflect on the year that is coming to a close and the new year coming. Our years have always involved lots of changes, some great and some not so great, yet we always say, "if we hadn't been there, we might not be here." We always like to think about where we've been, where we are going and where we wanna be.

The Prissy Hen Social Hour has been a blast. Therapy, stress relief, fun, laughter, friends, lots of information. We have truly covered everything from lipstick to world politics, although not too much politics...not on the air anyway! We have made so many appearances, met so many people. We have laughed and cried and laughed some more. We have had shows that just packed full of information and we have had still others that probably had absolutely no actual information involved, but they were all a lot of fun. We have talked about so many important things, Banebow, Joshua, The Help Center, homelessness, Be The Match, Relay for Life, the flood in May and all those who were so affected, Valentine's Day and the All About Love Show, all the "on location" broadcasts, announcing the basketball game at for at the high school homecoming, Dickson County and Creekwood football...soooooo many memories. We are so thankful for all the laughs, the friendships, the fun. We have been so inspired by so many people and we cherish all the experiences we have had over the past year. We are no longer broadcasting the show on WDKN and are experiencing changes there too. We are gearing up for a show on the local cable channel as well as online. Exciting times.

Kids inevitably bring change to your life, they are all about change. Sweet Tiffy is engaged and Chad is a successful pilot. Lane will be 16 early this year (although he gave us quite a scare and we are so thankful to watch him mark another year!) and Annie is in middle school. Cayce will go to high school this year! Drew graduates in May, Carlie is driving, Dylan is in middle school, too and Cameron...is Cameron, a true prissy hen child! The Prissy Hens are good Mamas and we have some amazing children. When we get 'em all grown, we are gonna retire to somewhere tropical and live in a hut with a cute cabana boy to bring us cool beverages on the beach, we are gonna be too tan, too thin and smoke way too many cigarettes...oh, sorry, got caught up in a fantasy!

So, to quote Oprah...
"Cheers to a brand new year and another chance for us to get it right!"
