Inventory In a Box

Dog coins - These six coins are enclosed in a holder or wallet of sorts and have images of different animals. The largest coin contains a picture of a dog and a few others have a picture of a fish on them.

Rug/cloth - The rug or clothe was not the softest of material and just one side had a cloth material on it with a scratchy surface on the under side. The cloth is relatively small and would not be a sufficient blanket for the average sized person.

Chestnuts - Three chestnuts of a very hard consistency and they do not vary a whole lot in size, though one is smaller than the others.

Ruler - The ruler was just like your average measuring tool of 12 inches that you would use to draw nice straight lines.

Wallet with Euros - The wallet was embroidered in what appeared to be an Indian style but I cannot be sure. It contained several euro coins within its pocket and nothing else.

Stamp with Chinese character - The stamp was tall and fairly narrow with one Chinese character on the under side. The interpretation I believe is the name Roland.

Indian woman warrior (Masai) - The small statue of the woman was at first impression just another statue but  in fact it was a tall, thin statue that depicted the Masai who were Indian warriors in the past.

Canoe - A typical canoe shaped boat however, it was made of birch wood which does give it a unique characteristic.

Head of man - A semi large head carved from wood by hand. A man carved it in the shape and look of his own head.

Man playing drum - The man is wooden and he is holding a drum and playing it while walking. The man is wearing a green hat as well.

Ceramic bowl - A very tiny bowl about the size of a silver dollar. The bowl or plate is made of ceramic.

Little farm/home - A small figure that is representative of an old Spanish farm with a little dog in the yard and a brick driveway.

Glass bottle with cork - The bottle is not shaped like a normal bottle, it's shaped like a vase rather and has a small cork in the top.

Who am I, and what do I stand for?

     I am Clayton Athman, I am like anyone else in that I enjoy learning about things that I am interested in. I love athletics, I can enjoy all athletics just because of the activity that it promotes and the environment for meeting new people that it provides. Along with athletics, I love to be with my family as much as possible but like to have a balance of friends as well. I am the youngest of four children, with one brother and two sisters.  I like to think that I have a wide variety of interests and believe that I am an easy-going person who likes to do things the right way.
     I do my best to apply myself in everything I do and gain satisfaction through meeting new people and taking on new challenges. My hope someday is that people can look at the life I have lived and say that I lived a life of integrity but most of all a life that reflected the character of  the Lord. My friends and family are extremely important to me and even though my family comes first it would be difficult to function without the balance of friends.
