I have heard rumors over the years of an infamous point store where points could be traded for all kinds of wonderful items. I was beginning to think it did not exist. After walking through the store for the first time, I am in awe. It is an impressive list of events hosted by a veritable who's who of the ActiveRain World. Pebble Beach, Paris, Montana, Lake Wylie and the Silo in Utah are all bucket list items for me. And let's not forget the Property Brother's and Ina Garten. Dinner with Ina would be fabulous. I am hungry just thinking about it.
I did notice one glaring omission from the shelves. There was no offering from Brian England. There is nothing like being in his Tesla and having him look at you with his sheepish grin while he exclaims, "Are you ready to blast off?!?" It is even more impressive because he can do it with his eyes closed. I imagine that it is such a hot item that it is out of stock.
At first, I just did not see how I could pull off any of these wonderful packages with the average price being North of 26,000 points. I am on the verge of 500,000 points. We all know how important that is so I can't afford to lose any points. I will admit to being a little depressed not to be able to participate in all of this month's fun, but timing is everything! Out of nowhere, I had an epiphany. I could start a Go Fund Me for points. I know many of you have plenty of points just laying around looking for somewhere to go so...

I just do not know what I will do if the points do not start rolling in soon.
It goes without saying that I would love to spend some time at Ina's table. I would tell Jeffry what a lucky man he is. The Property Brothers don't even have to show up. I will take my advice from the incomparable, Kathy Streib. By the way, I am so glad Kathy did not arrange to have this guy show up.
I really do need that three hour lesson at Pebble Beach. If I play the next day, I will need plenty of free balls. Those lessons will not save me from hitting many picturesque shots into the ocean.
I also really need to see the show at the Silo. We can get rid of most of the performers, though. No Doubt, we will need much more time for Gwen Stefani. 😃
How could I possible miss dinner with Endre Barath, Jr. in Paris? I wonder if I could get a discounted rate if I just meet him at his house.
Fly fishing in Montana, I am in! I can already here Kat Palmiotti telling me to put my fly rod away after she sees my poor technique. I am sure she would use the famous line directed at the BB gun loving Ralphie, "You'll put your eye out, kid!" Ok, I am not a kid, but still...
After all of the above, sitting lakeside in Charlotte, drinking top shelf cocktails at sunset with Debe Maxwell, CRS and Ray would be the perfect way to wrap up all the adventures. Those amazing sunsets are worth any amount of points.
Ok, the fantasy comes to an end. I bought a Clue from Jim Paulson (a real bargain!). There is no Go Fund Me for ActiveRain points so I will respect the Poop! Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist, thank you for the affordable and useful selection. Maybe I can use some of this cheap gas to crash some of the other events. Shhhhh! Don't tell anybody!!!
If all else fails, I am grabbing a bunch of Lard Lad Donuts, topping them with ice cream and diving in. There is more than one way to find happiness!
Thank you for this month's fun challenge Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker, Kathy Streib and Carol Williams. I can't wait for my first trip in the Banana Jet. You know, when I can afford it. Ha!
