ReplyDeleteOn this Memorial Day - it might be worth re-mentioning the essence of a story that aired on WMRA one week ago.
ReplyDeleteA group of acupuncturists offer a free, weekly acupuncture clinic to anyone currently in the U-S military, any military vet, and their families.
It's on Mondays, and will be held again tonight, 7pm, at the JABA Center in Charlottesville.
The story about the clinic is available at http://www.wmra.org/, in the WMRA News section, under the headline "Gift Clinic for Veterans."
Wow, what a lovely picture. Thank you, Charlie. I have been enjoying the delicate shell pink of some fairy roses I planted last year, which have just now started to spread and bloom in clusters. These days, I mostly see the "knockout" variety of rose, which is nice, but as far as I can tell, nothing compared to a real rose.
