Earning Amazon.com Gift Cards

I was trying to figure out how to fund my Amazon.com habit and I stumbled across a website that lets me earn points toward a free Amazon gift card. I’m going to see how many ways I can get my Amazon “fix” without having to spend cash to do so. My Amazon Wish List has […]

Commiting to be fit

I’d like to say that beads of perspiration slowly trickled down my face, but that would be a lie. By the end of my workout it was more like rivers of sweat cascading down my face, chest, arms and legs Niagara-style. Newly awakened muscles protested at the recent changes they’d been forced to endure. Two […]

Moved by a movie…

Film makers wield a powerful weapon that, used properly, can positively impact people’s lives. One such film maker, Australian businessman Joe Cross, has produced a documentary film that touched me in a way few movies ever have. After exhausting conventional medical routes to help him lose weight and deal with a debilitating auto-immune disease that […]

Loving my RV…

Well it’s been several weeks since I moved into my motorhome, and I love it! Even though it’s still parked at Snyder’s, I’ve had a chance to adjust to the size of it and I’m figuring out what will and won’t fit in it. One of the things that excite me is the incentive to […]

Just a quick post to give a shout of thanks that my RV is in the shop and they are making headway on repairs. Last I spoke with Eric and Terry of Snyder’s RV in Salem my water leaks were fixed, the oil leak was fixed, and they were working on the exhaust leak. My […]

I got my Appalachian Trail thru-hiker “fix” for the day!

Hi, my name is Sandi, and I’m a trail magic-aholic. Wait! Before you go thinking something weird, that doesn’t mean that I like to go off in the woods and chant incantations while standing on a forest trail. Trail magic is a term that is used to describe something good that someone does for an […]

2012-02-05 Entebbe to Jinja

2012-02-05 10:30 local time. On our way from Entebbe to Jinja. It’s a beautiful day. Blue skies. Not too hot yet. I feel like I’m at home. Not so much of wanting this to BE home, but rather that it has the familiarity and welcome feel of home. There are 16 of us on this […]

2012-02-04 The Flight to Entebbe

2012-02-04 Journal Entry We are less than an hour out from Entebbe. It’s been a long flight…obviously…made seeming longer by the lack of sleep I had this past week. However, it has been fairly uneventful once we actually got assigned to a flight. Our Air France/KLM flight was delayed on its way in to Dulles, […]

Just another Bird Family canoe trip

So, Troy, Jed and Clint decide to go canoeing yesterday in the Roanoke River. Clint has no canoe experience, it’s a two-person canoe…and there are no life jackets. Well, the first time the canoe flipped, Jed’s glasses got kicked off as Clint’s foot creamed him in the face. Mind you, Jed’s previously lost two other […]

Though the sorrow may last for the night, His joy comes in the morning…” Lyrics to the song “Trading My Sorrows”. I’m […]
