Tibetan Carpets for the St. Helens Booster Auction
I risked life and limb to "follow the yellow brick road" AKA Kathmandu's "Ring Road," dodging traffic and closing my eyes, amidst a brigade of motorcycles, trucks, buses, bikes, taxi's and people to get to the Tibetan refugee carpet makers. After much searching, haggling and communicating, this kind gentleman and I settled on a price. I purchased a rug for Alexandra and Drew plus a very attractive piece to donate for the Booster auction. Under the Yak and the Snow Lion, note the large carpet in black and burgandy. It would look nice in your home.
I am a hiker, a rafter, a reader, a racquetball player, a teacher, and most importantly, a member of the Jeffrey/Thompson family. I'm fortunate enough to live on the Columbia River, teach at Portland Community College, and travel to far away places. Although I am from Texas, and love the Texas people, the beauty of the Northwest captivated me from the moment I arrived in Oregon. I have always been passionate about the wilderness and the secrets it quietly releases. As a result, I have hauled my friends and family from one adventure to another. In addition, a couple of years ago, I rafted the Colorado River and experienced the marvels of the Grand Canyon. There, I watched the sunrise unfold in ripples on the canyon walls before it slowly decended and danced on the waters edge a vertical mile from the top of the canyon. Now I have an opportunity to see a sunrise touch the high peaks of the world - the Himalayas. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged me to make that journey, and welcome to my blog.
