Hi,
Just got back soil sample results from local extension office. Please
explain what is ment by
my soil type which they classfied on one sample as "Sandy Loam" and another
sample from another part of my property as "Loamy Sand".

(worst) sand - loamy sand - sandy loam (best you've got)

Sandy loam would contain more more silt/clay/OM than loamy sand, which has
more than sand.

Sandy loam will still be a lean, 'hungry' soil which dries out quicky and leaches
nutrients readily. On the upside, it is very forgiving of being worked in any state
and doesn't compact easily.

How you deal with it depends on what your aim is. If you plan to grow vegetables,
you'll need to add nutrients and organic matter and be ready to mulch and water
(sometimes a lot). IIf you are planning flower gardens, it's best to choose plants
that can thrive in lean, well-draining soils.
