Games and Guests

January 25, 2014 By Steve Hogg Leave a Comment

At times last night it was crazy loud. Monieca and I had fun hanging out with some of the young adults @ last night’s game night. One table was fairly quiet, but the others…LOUD! Our group was the loudest. But you can’t play “Classic Pit” without a lot of shouting. Best part of the night… Read More »

A Frustrating Experience

April 19, 2013 By Steve Hogg Leave a Comment

February 27, 2012 By Steve Hogg Leave a Comment

Most Sundays Monieca and I eat lunch after church with our son and his wife. We’re taking advantage of this period in life when we all live in the same city and attend the same church since it’s not likely to always be this way. For instance our daughter was always part of these lunches… Read More »

Waffle House

January 25, 2012 By Steve Hogg Leave a Comment

Tuesday morning I was craving a good waffle, so I stopped at…you guessed it…Waffle House. I was not disappointed. It was good! When entering the door, the staff greeted me with a chorus of “hi” and “hello” and “welcome to Waffle House.” Before you start thinking I’m somebody special or they all know me at… Read More »
