Yesterday on the icy roads, we had the opportunity for an appointment out Washington Blvd/Rt# 50 around lunch time. I'd read about The Great Wall Grocery Store, in the Gold's Gym shopping center on Gallows road. If you like unique items to eat, you'll enjoy this grocery store. Live fish are swimming in tanks. "Which one would you like, sir?' Fresh vegetables galore and fresh fruit of more varieties thaN is imaginable. While walking by all the live frogs, turtles, jelly fish, pig's feet, crabs....I spotted laquered ducks hanging behind a glass wall. Behind it was a huge pig on a meat hook (fresh bacon, pork chops). The laquered duck peaked our tastebuds. The woman "thankfully" asked if she could chop it into pieces for us. It WAS so beautiful, head-on. Duck soup tonight.

The Fairlington CVS on Quaker Ln, very near Parkfairfax/Shirlington has a photo enlargement machine. Saw Stan and Victor while there. Anyway, the photos of my brother and my parents and I on a vacation in Bermuda at Christmas-time WAAAAYYYY back when I worked for Delta(when I was MUCH younger) have been enlarged and are ready for Valentine's Day gifts.
