(KNUE-FM) It seems like only days ago we were complaining about the hot temperatures here in Texas and now it’s time to celebrate Thanksgiving. Life is going so fast, but it’s about time we slow down and enjoy breaking bread with friends and family.

While this year has been a struggle for many of us, we still have so much to be thankful for, hopefully that includes family that you will be able to spend time with on Thanksgiving. It’s all about family, a little bit of football, and a whole lot of food. Everyone normally has the same dishes for the big Thanksgiving meal which includes turkey, cornbread dressing, and so many other side dishes I would be here all day listing them.
