It’s Thanksgiving, which means families and friends across the country will share food, stories and laughs around their dining tables today.

Shirley Conn said it would be her mother, who turned 94 last Saturday.
“She likes to get all into the food she’s not supposed to eat, you know?” Conn said. “Sweet potatoes and stuff.”
Katina Callowoy immediately said it would be her cousin, a woman who always brings a date who clashes with the family in some way.
“We’re U of L fans and she’ll probably bring a UK fan,” Callowoy said.
