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.

WE ARE ALL SINNERS – DEVOTIONAL
WE ARE ALL SINNERS – DEVOTIONAL Howdy Friends! It had been a rough week for the lad. The ‘issue’ wasn’t the big deal to Grandpop. The issue was how the lad had treated it when his folks told Grandpop. “We all get in trouble some time!” The lad tossed his hands in the...
OUR MEMORIES AND DREAMS OF HORSES WE’VE KNOWN
OUR MEMORIES AND DREAMS OF HORSES WE’VE KNOWN Howdy Friends! Our thoughts of our departed equine partners, I believe, are a connection to their spirits. Not merely memories, though memories are precious, but conduits by which we travel and visit with them again and...
IT’S THE LORD’S DAY
Howdy Friends! It’s the Lord’s Day! A day where Christians gather together to hear the Word preached and worship together. “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet.” . -Revelation 1:10 Sunday was the day that Jesus...
TOUGH CHOICES – DEVOTIONAL
TOUGH CHOICES – DEVOTIONAL Howdy Friends! Morning sun had become hot already. Grandpop and the boy had been working since before the sun had crawled above the barn. “Time for a break yet?” Grandpop suggested in a question. . “I can keep digging.” The boy assured him....
PATIENCE – DEVOTIONAL
PATIENCE – DEVOTIONAL Howdy Friends! I’d gone up to Grandpop’s outfit to gather myself. Maybe blow off a little steam. But probably mostly for the love. And guidance, too. . Found Grandpop trimming hooves. I thought he’d given that up and hired a fellow to do that....
WHEN I LOOK AT A HORSE
WHEN I LOOK AT A HORSE Howdy Friends! When I look at a horse I see the horse it can be, wants to be. Somehow I look right beyond the stiffness, lacking posture or inverted body carriage. . Like a sculptor who looks at a chunk of granite and chips away all the tiny...
HOW DO RIDERS BREAK DOWN THEIR HORSE’S POSTURE
HOW DO RIDERS BREAK DOWN THEIR HORSE’S POSTURE Howdy Friends. How do riders break down their horse’s posture? . Well actually in many ways, but the biggest culprit is bracing, conscious or unconscious. When a rider squeezes its knees, braces, against the side of the...
OVERCONFIDENCE – DEVOTIONAL
OVERCONFIDENCE – DEVOTIONAL Howdy Friends! Grandpop sat under the barn eve, out of the sun. He wore a look of expectant fun. “Ya did all the groundwork that sassy mare could benefit from, have ya?” Grandpop chuckled knowing the response he’d get from the boy. . “I’m...
AT LEAST I’M NOT LIKE HIM – DEVOTIONAL
AT LEAST I’M NOT LIKE HIM – DEVOTIONAL Howdy Friends! “You just don’t get it, Grandpop!” The boy shouted. “He’s just so weird about stuff.” . Grandpop motioned for the boy to lay down the manure fork and take a break. “Weird huh? Haven’t heard that one in a while.” He...
PUFFED UP PRIDE – DEVOTIONAL
PUFFED UP PRIDE – DEVOTIONAL Howdy Friends! “Well doggone if that ain’t the shiniest that ol’ saddle has looked in some time!” Grandpop beamed as he walked through the big barn door. He’d left the boy alone with the saddle soap and saddle when he’d made a necessary...
