Close Encounters of the Banana Kind

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Results St Cloud Mn real estate

Some time ago I began my Active Rain experience, and one of my earliest connections was with Anna Banana Kruchten, of Phoenix Property Shoppe in AZ. More accurately Anna made the connection, because she grew up in St. Cloud, MN, which is where I live and work. A 100 blog localism series, centered on Saint Cloud MN, cemented our relationship, with Anna commenting on nearly every one.

Thanks Anna!Yesterday I was going about my business, holding one of my listings open, and a woman came to the door. She said she was visiting for a Friend on AR, and was carrying a package topped with a banana. It took a moment for my senses to catch up with my brain and I realized I was having a Banana Encounter. I had the great pleasure to be visited by Anna's sister Mary Margaret, bearing muffins with a banana tied on top. Mary Margaret promptly took control of my camera phone and snapped a picture for the official record, er blog.

BananaTudeHave you ever had the feeling you were being watched. Well now you know the truth and so do I. There are friends of Anna Banana all over the country. They're in your town, They're in my town. When will your muffins arrive? No one knows for sure, but when they do they will be banana nut, and you will enjoy them.happy bananas!

 

Thanks Anna. Your a great friend.

Gotcha Steve!!!  When I saw your open house post I just knew I could talk my sister into going over and surprising you!  Guess it worked! She said the look on your face was priceless.  You've got Tude for sure!!  Another successful Banana Siting!!  LOL  Glad you had fun with the visit - and that the house sells fast!

I just LOVE this story Steve - what fun that must have been.  It sure would be great to meet Anna too - but it sounds like you got the next best thing - her sister!

Oh Karen, I was flabbergasted at first, but yes Anna Banana's sister was very nice. And she's done this before, so she was very nice. I plan to meet the head banana some day, either here, or in Phoenix:)
