Day 1: Wednesday, November 25, 1998
I traveled with Mike, his family, and Ronald to Graceville Florida to visit my younger son and his family.
Day 2: Thursday, November 26, 1998
Robin & Charity spent all morning cooking the Thanksgiving dinner.
The kids played outside and the weather was very warm,
The Macy’s Thanksgiving parade was playing on the television.
Day 3: Friday, November 27, 1998
We went shopping and we left the boys with my sons they were all watching football games.
In 1998, the Pittsburg, Steelers, and Detroit Lions went to overtime. Pittsburgh's Jerome Bettis called the coin toss in the air, but confusion surrounded the call. The officials misheard Pittsburgh's call and awarded Detroit the ball, which went on to win 19-16 on their first drive in overtime. Because of the fiasco, team captains are now required to call the coin toss before the coin is tossed.
Minnesota vs.Vikings score is 46 to Dallas Cowboys 36.
Charity, Robin, Sierra, Hannah and I left early for the early morning Black Friday Sales at Wal-Mart.
It was a madhouse at the crowded Wal-Mart, where everyone was grabbing, shoving, and pushing to get the early morning sales.
Ronald needed a new television, I found one at Wal-mart, I did not have a shopping cart to put the television in so, I sat on the television box, so no one would take it.
Finally, someone offered me a shopping cart, I loaded the television into the cart Sierra and I walked to the checkout counter.
Robin and Charity were standing in the checking line.
We rode to the outlet mall where we shopped for several hours.
Day 4: Saturday, November 28, 1998
Saturday morning we packed a picnic lunch, we all rode to Panama City Beach.
At the beach, we built sandcastles in the sand, swam in the Gulf, and played football in the sand.
It was a great day to be on the beach because it was not crowded.
