A Dog Named Saturday
Coffee Clutch got its name from the blog posts I wrote for years from the barn sitting enjoying my morning coffee with my mare, dogs, kitties and chickens. Folks really enjoyed them. Coffee Clutch is more than a newsletter. It’s a visit, it’s information, it’s fun, it’s musings, barn talk, writing talk, bird talk, horse talk and faith thoughts. And of course, it’s all the news about A DOG NAMED SATURDAY, old new and coming soon.
I’ll share some of my works in progress, upcoming publications, and more. Folks enjoy “The Old Man on the Porch, and Grandpop too, so they’ll be dropping in.

WHERE IS GOD WHEN WE SUFFER

DOES YOUR HORSE CARE
Howdy Friends! There is an old saying in the sales world, “People don’t care about how much you know until they know how much you care.” That applies to how your horse sees you, too... For a horse/human relationship to flourish, it takes a lot more than the basic care...
ZINNIAS and ETERNAL LIFE
Howdy Friends! “But what is the resurrection like?” The boy asked, he pushed dirt with a stubby stick onto a pile between his feet. The old man leaned forward, dragged his boot toe through the dust. “The eternal life?” He asked the boy. “Well, there is a passage in...
COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS
Howdy Friends! Sittin’ in the barn with Lizzy, Fluffernutter and Bambi, watchin’ the chickens strut, flutter and squawk, I think about God’s blessings. I love my Robbie, daughter and grandbabies. I love my mare, our dogs, kitties and our wonderful peaceful life. I...
