Razor Clamming in March

The March low tide was during daylight hours and it was really interesting to actually be able to see the thousands and thousands of people on the beach that day! Bart and I joined friends Trina, Brent and Billy for two really fun days clamming on the Long Beach pennisula!

US Open, New York

Teryn Down the Road — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 15:30:00 GMT

If you ever get a chance to attend the US Open Tennis Tournament in New York City, go for it! If you go the week before the finals, you are able to watch the pros up close and personal. Granted, we had nose bleed tickets in the big stadium, but after watching so many games in the practice areas the experience was still pretty awesome. Here are photos of us with my brother Donald, his wife, Risa, and our friends from Savannah, GA.

Airstream 1958 Traveler

Opal the Airstream
My husband and I own a 1958 Traveler Airstream. There were only 100 made of this model and she travels like she's brand new, not 50 years old! (She was in a barn for 25 years and we found an opal ring while cleaning her - hence her name!) We've decorated her in 1960's Sputnik fabrics of lime green and orange. She's only 18 feet but fits perfectly into tiny campsites.

Harare, Zimbabwe, Africa

Teryn Down the Road — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:37:00 GMT

In April, I traveled to Harare,

Zimbabwe

to join my father's medical team of volunteers, Operation of Hope. Over 80 operations were done with my father (Dr. Joseph Clawson), who is in his mid-70's, performing more than half of the procedures. Most of the surgeries were cleft lips and palettes, with a number of deformities included, as he is a head and neck, plastic surgeon.

(To learn more about this trip, pick up the December 2008 issue of Oprah Magazine.) [

After a week of exhausting work with screenings, surgeries and recovery, we headed south to play with the animals of Africa! We swam with elephants, rode horses to get up close to zebras and giraffes, played with baby lions, and followed two lions on their night hunt.

October of this year, my father's team traveled again to Zimbabwe where where they found health services across Zimbabwe collapsing along with the economy.

Here are a few photos ...
