I am invited to send work to the American Embassy in Pristina, Kosovo.

This morning they are returned. 

They have seen things and been somewhere

I never will see or be.

I'm glad they're home, 

old friends.

The catalogue of the Art in Embassies Exhibition in 

Pristina, Kosovo, 

arrived just before Christmas.

These works will be on loan for two or three years

depending on the Ambassador's term.

I was thanked for serving my Country. 

I had never thought of it that way.

I'm feeling Patriotic.
