• An American Picker

  I’m not sure when we started to find “American Pickers” on the TV screens. It began only on our vacations, because we didn’t have cable. Then in the last couple of years I have added a ‘Frndly Tv’ subscription and our air channels have aired past shows. This didn’t just become a Dad and me…
