American Pickers

First off-Picture overload
Second off-If you have not seen the TV show you might not know what I am talking about.




My friend and I went to the shop of the Mike from "American Pickers" today.





The picture below is the place we ate. This was the first place we went to since we rolled into town about noon. The funny story here is that this is basically a bar with a short menu for the 'grill' part of it. My friend and I were the only people sitting at the tables eating. There were a few (maybe 4-5) men at the bar and everything was pretty quiet. Well while we were talking at our table I over heard the people at the bar talking about tatoos. The only bartender (who was also our waitress) said "My sister Danielle ( and then touched her upper chest area and then continued talking about Danielle's tattoos)" Some of you might know where I am going with this. I then looked more closely at this lady and she looked just like Danielle from the show "Amer. Pickers" So my waitress at the bar and grill was Danielle's sister. Later when we went to the store I talked to Danielle (and got an autograph and a picture with her) and I asked if her sister worked at the Riverview Bar and Grill and she did. How weird?




Some pics of the town.








This is my friend. She is 8 months pregnant. I also have my pic by this car, but I look 14 months pregnant in the pic and I am not pregnant at all. So I didn't post it.














This is Danielle below and this is some guy I don't know. Again I do have my pic with her, but I do not like the way I look so I didn't post it.







I saw the episode with this suit


I saw the episode with these lights.

I saw the episode with this gas tank.


I saw the episode with this fridge.




My friend making business calls.





And a little refreshment before we left. This does not help with my looking 14 months prego.




It was really fun. The town also has tons of other shops to look around in. I just bought a t-shirt from American Pickers and a little pear decoration for my kitchen (from a different store)

Mike and Frank were not there. Danielle said they are on the road 3 out of the 4 weeks in a month.
