Sandy lives in Riner, VA, just outside of Pilot, with her husband, Ralph Birkenmaier, on 19 acres of gardens, meadows, woods and streams. She has two sons, Emerson and Austin Brown. She also tries to keep up with a dog, two cats, a gecko, fish, ducks, pigeons and wild birds that have become accustomed to pampering. She's trying to find the time and energy to do more international folk dancing, which she has taught most of her life.
